I always thought the conclusion of this ep in Image In The Sand was obviously a false vision created by the powerwraths to trick Sisko.

>What time travel of the story do you mean?? I don't quite follow. It was period, sure -- but all a vision from the Prophets. No-one time-travelled in the episode.

being a "period peace" itself is a form of time travel for the viewer.

>There is no time travel in that episode, if you want to get technical and say that it WAS a different time period then I can give you that, but when I think of time travel in Trek terms I think more of The Voyage Home, or TOS's City On the Edge or Forever.

as I said above,

being a "period peace" itself is a form of time travel for the viewer.

and I understand your point fully, and pretty much agree.But thev way zI see it, anytime an ongoing series makes a change in the era of a particular story, it can be said to be time traveling.Maybe not for the characters, but certinly for the viewers.
