The
Caucasus
THE PEOPLES THAT TIME FORGOT
By Robert Chenciner
With commentary on the
beautiful images of Caucasian peoples from the Russian Ethnographic Museum.,St Petersburg exhibited at the
Hessenhuis, Antwerp in 2001
Order the book
| 
| The Russian love affair with the Caucasus has been long and
cruel, though the outside world knows little of the multitude of ethnic groups who for millennia have
inhabited this remote strip of land the size of France.
In
2001, however, a remarkable catalogue was published. It reveals a unique collection of artefacts which for
years have stood gathering dust in the vaults of a St Petersburg
museum.
Here Robert Chenciner examines the book and
introduces a selection of its poignant photographs

PEAK PERFORMANCE
- A 24-page celebration of Turkey's alpine Black Sea mountains by Ali Özgü Caneri and Kate
Clow
Photographs: Kate
Clow
Turkey’s Kaçkar Mountains, a daunting
extension of the Caucasus high above the Black Sea, are only for the intrepid. Ali Özgü Caneri and
Kate Clow took advantage of the short trekking season to scale two of the saw-edged
summits.
The crags of Seytan Kayalari, the Devil’s
Rocks, tower over Dilberdüzü, base camp for the ascent of Mount Kaçkar.
|
| 'From
a blossoming pass overlooking the Hevek valley and, beyond, the plains of Erzurum, we hear the wild cries of
falcons flying past on a shopping spree to feed the family.'
Left: the drifts of meadow flowers in the
Hevek valley are overwhelming. At 2200m, poppies and campanulas replace the scabious and vetches of the lower
slopes

- Carrots have a colourful past and the gift of making us see in the

| 
| Carrots, I confess, never seemed wildly exciting to me. There were always there - so you never had
a chance to miss them - but they weren't on a par with aubergines, say, or artichokes. I'm sure I am not
alone. Cookery writers rarely dwell on them. Yet the more I learn about carrots, the more fascinating they
become...
