EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken by Folco Quilici in 1977, we are transported to the enchanting Badjuni Islands off the coast of Somalia. The image showcases a majestic sambuco gracefully gliding through the crystal-clear waters, its sails billowing with the gentle breeze. The Badjuni Islands, known for their untouched beauty and rich cultural heritage, provide an idyllic backdrop for this timeless scene. As our eyes wander across the frame, we can almost feel the warm sun on our skin and taste the salty sea air. The photographer's keen eye captures every intricate detail - from the intricately designed sail to each ripple in the water beneath it. The sambuco itself is a true marvel of craftsmanship; its elegant lines and traditional design speak volumes about Somali seafaring traditions that have been passed down through generations. It serves as a reminder of how deeply intertwined these islands are with their maritime history. Quilici's choice to present this photograph in black and white adds an element of timelessness to the image. Stripped away from distractions of color, we are able to fully appreciate every nuance captured within each shade of gray. This print from Alinari allows us not only to admire Quilici's artistic vision but also provides a glimpse into a world that may no longer exist as it once did. It invites us to reflect upon both natural beauty and human ingenuity while reminding us of our own connection with nature. Whether you're an avid sailor or simply someone who appreciates breathtaking photography, this stunning print transports you on an unforgettable journey through time and space – right into one of Somalia's hidden gems: Badjuni Islands
