About this photograph

At sunset, Melnik rests in a narrow valley surrounded by the pale ridges and sculpted forms of the Melnik Pyramids. The red roofs of the town follow the road between green slopes, while the eroded formations rise above the houses in a varied landscape of cliffs, peaks and wooded hills. Soft evening light reaches the rocks beneath a layered sky, revealing the unusual connection between the town and its natural surroundings.
