1985 Dubrovnik Eighties Yugoslavia Yugoslavian
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, an old couple, dressed in their traditional Yugoslavian costumes, stand together on their farm in the picturesque village of Stravca, located near the historic city of Dubrovnik. The image captures a moment of quiet intimacy and connection between the two, as they gaze into each other's eyes, their hands gently touching. The woman wears a long, flowing dress adorned with intricate embroidery and traditional patterns, while the man dons a simple yet elegant tunic and trousers, both adorned with colorful sashes and accessories. The year is 1985, and the scene is one of simple, rural life in Yugoslavia. The 1980s were a time of significant change in Europe, but in this remote corner of the country, the traditional way of life remained largely unaltered. The couple's attire, passed down through generations, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the region. The rolling hills and lush greenery of the farm provide a beautiful backdrop to the scene, with the warm sunlight casting a golden glow over the landscape. The couple's weathered faces, etched with the lines of age and experience, add to the sense of history and tradition. This photograph is a poignant reminder of a bygone era, one in which the rhythms of rural life were in harmony with the natural world. It invites us to reflect on the importance of preserving our cultural heritage, and the value of the connections and traditions that bind us to our past.
