Aqaba Harbour, Jordan, Red Sea: A Timeless Maritime Scene (circa 1995) This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the serene beauty of Aqaba Harbour on the Red Sea in Jordan. The image features the silhouettes of four men in a small boat, their figures barely discernible against the shimmering water and the vast, star-studded night sky. In the background, a large freight ship is anchored, its cargo holds filled with mysterious contents, waiting to be transported to their next destination. The tranquil waters of the Red Sea reflect the light of the moon and the stars, creating a sparkling, mesmerizing scene. The gentle ripples on the water's surface hint at the underlying energy and movement of the sea, while the stillness of the moment invites contemplation and reflection. The men in the small boat seem to be enjoying a leisurely swim or perhaps preparing for a dive, their silhouettes adding a sense of human scale to the scene. The contrast between the small, agile boat and the massive freight ship underscores the vastness of the sea and the interconnectedness of the maritime world. Aqaba Harbour, with its bustling activity and rich history, has long been a hub of trade and travel. This photograph captures a moment of quiet repose in the midst of the harbour's constant ebb and flow, inviting us to imagine the stories and adventures that unfolded on the Red Sea's shores.
