EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the timeless scene of rural life in Buyukdere, a picturesque village situated on the European side of the Bosphorus Strait. The serene meadow, dotted with wildflowers, stretches out before us, providing the perfect setting for the village's farmers as they go about their daily work. In the foreground, a team of four Anatolian Water Buffalos, with their distinctive hump and curved horns, work together to plough the fertile soil. The farmers, dressed in traditional clothing, guide the animals with deft movements, their faces etched with determination and focus. The Bosphorus Strait, a vital waterway connecting the Black Sea to the Sea of Marmara, can be seen in the background, adding to the sense of tranquility and beauty. This image, taken in the 1920s, offers a glimpse into the rich agricultural heritage of this region, where farming and cultivation have long been integral to the way of life." "The Anatolian Water Buffalo, also known as Bubalus bubalis, is an ancient breed that has been an essential part of farming in Turkey for thousands of years. These powerful and sturdy animals were used for various agricultural tasks, including ploughing, and were highly valued for their strength and endurance. The use of buffalo for farming is still prevalent in some rural areas of Turkey, and this photograph serves as a reminder of the important role they played in shaping the agricultural landscape of the country." "This photograph is a beautiful and poignant reminder of the simple pleasures and hard work that come with rural life, and the deep connection between farmers, their land, and their animals. It is a testament to the enduring traditions and customs that have shaped the history and culture of this region, and a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating our agricultural heritage.
