1952 Burma Burmese Kalaw Myanmar Pagoda Rangoon Deodar Jacaranda
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the breathtaking scene of Pagoda Hill in Rangoon, Burma (now Myanmar), in the year 1952. The hill, located in the heart of the city, is adorned with two distinct and beautiful tree species: the Jacaranda and the Deodar. The Jacaranda trees, with their iconic purple blooms, create a vibrant contrast against the lush green foliage of the Deodar trees. The Jacaranda trees, native to Central and South America, were introduced to Burma in the late 19th century and have since become a beloved symbol of the city. Their stunning displays of purple blossoms in the springtime attract visitors from far and wide. The Deodar trees, on the other hand, are native to the Himalayas and were likely brought to Burma as ornamental plants. Their tall, majestic silhouettes add an air of grandeur to the hillside, providing much-needed shade and a sense of tranquility. The photograph, taken in the 1950s, offers a glimpse into a bygone era. The serene atmosphere of Pagoda Hill, with its beautiful trees and picturesque pagodas, stands in stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of the bustling city below. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to imagine the sights, sounds, and smells of Rangoon during the 1950s. This photograph is a testament to the enduring beauty of nature and the power it has to transport us to another time and place. The Jacaranda and Deodar trees on Pagoda Hill continue to be a source of inspiration and wonder, attracting visitors from all corners of the world to this day.
