Edge of glory (Jordan, Petra)

On the side of a cliff, in the dizzying heights of Petra , Jordan, a motionless donkey seems suspended in the void. Its white silhouette, marked by fatigue, faces the immensity of the canyon. Draped in a traditional Bedouin rug, it embodies an ancestral memory: that of caravans, forgotten roads, and the silent perseverance of desert mountaineers.

The photograph of Petra captures a striking contrast between animal fragility and geological power. Beside it, the Jordanian flag flaps in the wind, the only visible movement in this mineral setting frozen by the centuries. The air is dry, the balance precarious, but the moment itself is suspended.

This natural landscape of Jordan evokes both the raw beauty and the solitude of these steep paths.
