Photo by johnstanmeyer | I have a peculiar interest in the pipes of Armenia. They're everywhere, rising from the earth as unending serpents to transport heating fuel toward uncountable homes. We returned three times to these particular tubes, located somewhere in the north—it satisfied a need for a distraction, to unravel the mystery of simple beauty. I've seen these continuous entanglements of metal elsewhere. A legacy of the Soviet days, it's a kind of Loch Ness on land, rising, then falling, across the Caucasus and elsewhere in Central Asia. I imagine them being the most extensive art installations on Earth. The image was part of the story "Ghost Lands," in the April 2016 issue of the magazine.
