South Africa's Cape Peninsula, marking the southwestern tip of the African continent, is acclaimed for its jagged peaks and low-rise shrubbery, which overlooks the city of Cape Town. Among the formations pictured in this collection are Lion's Head, Kloof Corner, and Chapman's Peak.

Al-Quds Collection

The city of Jerusalem, known in Arabic as Al-Quds (القدس) - literally translating to 'The Holy' - serves not just as the historic capital of Palestine, but as a core holy site in all three Abrahamic faiths — Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The Al Quds collection serves to show the wondrous beauty of Jerusalem's Old City, mosques, churches, market, and the aura of the heart of Palestine.

Textures of Jordan

The sculpted deserts, mountains, carvings, and views that texture the Jordanian landscape.

Qalqilya, located northwest of Jerusalem, was one of the first cities in Palestine to be locked in by the apartheid wall. Once a smaller and quieter city, 70% of its current inhabitants are refugees from areas near Qalqilya ethnically cleansed in 1948. A mix of old buildings, distinctive doors, symbols of apartheid, and uniquely juxtaposed items can be found throughout the city.

Cape Town’s Bo-Kaap, nestled at the foot of Signal Hill, is renowned for its brightly painted homes and cobblestone streets, home to a rich Cape Malay heritage. The historic neighborhood, once known as the Malay Quarter, was initially a home to freed Malay slaves and artisans in the 18th century.

Streets of Merj Al-Hamam

Midday summer sunlight shines down upon homes and buildings in the neighborhood of Marj Al-hamam (منطقة مرج الحمام) in the ancient city of Amman, now the capital of Jordan and once the central metropolis in Transjordan for the Roman, Ammonite, and Muslim empires. In the early summer mornings, the cool sun slowly rises, with gradients and pastel skies casting a majestic impression upon the city and its surroundings. Later on every summer day, at a time where the city streets are empty as the heat reaches its peak, the piercing sunlight and bright sky create an intriguing visual contrast with the desertesque sunbaked regional architecture.

The Drakensberg range forms the eastern edge of the Great Escarpment of southern Africa. With sandstone cliffs and semi-barren rock faces, the range extends for more than 600 miles across inland South Africa and Lesotho.
