EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time at Butaritari airfield in the Gilbert Islands of the Pacific. The year is 1977, and against a backdrop of palm trees and crystal-clear waters, an aircraft sits on the runway next to a traditional hut. The scene exudes tranquility and simplicity, with the idyllic setting transporting viewers to a bygone era.
The image not only showcases the natural beauty of this remote island but also provides a glimpse into its history. As scouts go about their activities in the background, one can't help but feel a sense of nostalgia for simpler times when life was lived at a slower pace.
The juxtaposition of modern transportation technology with traditional Polynesian architecture creates an intriguing contrast that speaks to the unique blend of cultures found in this part of the world. It's as if time stands still on Butaritari airfield, offering visitors a rare opportunity to step back in time and experience life as it once was.
Whether you're drawn to aviation history or simply appreciate stunning landscapes, this print is sure to captivate your imagination and transport you to another place and time.
