EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time from the 1920s in the ancient city of Gampola, Sri Lanka (then known as Ceylon). The image presents a scene of daily life, with local men leading their horned cattle through a shallow stream. The crystal-clear water reflects the lush greenery of the surrounding palm trees and hills, while a bridge in the background suggests the presence of a nearby village. The men, dressed in traditional clothing, expertly navigate the uneven riverbed, their focus on their animals as they make their way across. The cattle, with their powerful build and distinctive horns, appear strong and resilient, a testament to the harsh yet fertile terrain of the region. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the rhythm of rural life was closely tied to the land and its livestock.
