EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "The island of a thousand temples, Sunda Islands, Bali" transports us back to the enchanting beauty of Bali in 1969. Taken by the talented photographer Quilici Folco and preserved by Alinari, this image captures the essence of this Indonesian paradise. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing scene, our eyes are immediately drawn to the lush greenery that blankets the landscape. Towering palm trees sway gently in the tropical breeze while vibrant flowers bloom in an array of colors. The natural beauty is further enhanced by the crystal-clear waters that surround this island gem. Intriguingly, what truly sets Bali apart is its rich cultural heritage. This photo aptly showcases why it is often referred to as "the island of a thousand temples". Scattered across the landscape are numerous intricately designed Hindu temples known as puras. These sacred structures stand tall against nature's backdrop and serve as spiritual sanctuaries for locals and visitors alike. The composition skillfully captures both tranquility and spirituality simultaneously. It invites us to imagine ourselves exploring these ancient sites or perhaps witnessing one of their vibrant ceremonies firsthand. The sense of serenity emanating from this photograph allows us to momentarily escape into a world where time seems suspended. Quilici Folco's lens has immortalized a moment frozen in time – an era when Bali was still relatively untouched by modernization but already held an irresistible allure for travelers seeking solace amidst breathtaking landscapes and profound spirituality. This remarkable print serves as a reminder that even decades later, Bali continues to captivate hearts with its timeless charm and mystical ambiance – forever etching itself into our collective imagination.
