Essay - A Perspective from Our Readers
On December 10, 2002,
a rare blizzard blanketed Baku with more snow than the city had
seen in the previous 20 years. Via email, we invited our readers
to send us photos that would capture the spirit of this beautiful
phenomenon. From more than 150 photos that we received, we've
chosen these scenes to represent a glimpse of Baku's Winter Wonderland.
Congratulations to these fine photographers. For our Spring 2003
issue, we invite readers from all over the world to send us photos
that capture the joyous celebration of Novruz 2003 (Ancient Rite
of Spring, March 21-22). Send your photos to Azerbaijan International
Editor no later than March 23, 2003. Send digital format at 300
dpi, 7 inches wide. Contact us for more details: ai@artnet.net.
