This photograph, titled "Island of Java, Surabaja, prahos input of a two-trees in the port" transports us to the bustling port of Surabaja in Indonesia's Island of Java. Taken by renowned photographer Folco Quilici in 1969, this timeless print captures a moment frozen in time. The image showcases the entrance to the port with two majestic trees standing tall on either side. The prahos, traditional Indonesian sailing vessels, are seen gracefully gliding through the calm waters towards their destination. The juxtaposition between nature and human activity creates a harmonious scene that is both serene and full of life. Quilici's masterful composition draws our attention to every detail within the frame. The intricate patterns on the sails and hulls of these wooden boats reveal stories untold about their history and purpose. Meanwhile, the surrounding landscape provides a glimpse into daily life at this vibrant seaport. As we gaze upon this photograph, we can almost feel ourselves being transported back in time – witnessing firsthand how trade and commerce shaped this region's cultural fabric. It serves as a testament to Indonesia's rich maritime heritage and its crucial role as an international trading hub throughout history. Quilici's artistic vision shines through his ability to capture not only physical elements but also emotions embedded within each frame he photographs. This particular print evokes feelings of curiosity, wonderment, and nostalgia for an era long gone yet forever preserved through his lens. "Island of Java, Surabaja" reminds us that photography has an incredible power – it allows us to connect with distant places and times while igniting our imagination. It serves as a visual portal inviting us to explore new worlds beyond our own reality - one click at a time.
