EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image, the first light of dawn breaks over the Karahoudan village nestled in the foothills of the Kopetdag Mountains in Turkmenistan. The scene showcases a typical scene of daily life for many families in this region, as they continue the tradition of sleeping outside on plank-beds during the warmer spring months. The young and juvenile members of the family huddle together on their simple yet sturdy beds, blankets pulled up to ward off the morning chill. The sun, just beginning to rise, casts a warm glow over the group, illuminating their peaceful slumber. The adults, too, are seen resting, their faces serene as they await the start of another day. The use of plank-beds is a long-standing tradition in this area, with many families opting to sleep outside during the milder seasons to take advantage of the cooler temperatures and fresh air. This nomadic behaviour, reminiscent of the region's rich history and cultural heritage, is still practiced by many indigenous tribes in Central Asia. The village, with its simple huts and houses, is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of its inhabitants. The landscape, dotted with hills and mountains, provides a stunning backdrop to this simple yet profound moment in time. As the sun continues to rise, the day begins anew for the families of Karahoudan village, their peaceful rest a reminder of the beauty and simplicity of rural life.
