The print titled "Guardians of the volcano" captures a mesmerizing scene in the Yogyakarta region of Java, Indonesia. This vibrant image showcases a group of elderly men dressed in traditional Javanese clothing, participating in a grand procession as part of a sacred ceremony. Set against the backdrop of Mount Merapi, an active volcano that holds great significance to the local community, these guardians march with pride and purpose. Clutching bamboo poles adorned with lush green plants, they symbolize their role as protectors of this majestic natural wonder. The photograph beautifully encapsulates the rich cultural heritage and deep-rooted traditions found within Indonesian society. It offers a glimpse into an age-old ritual that brings together generations and fosters unity among its participants. As we observe this display unfold outdoors, it is evident that every step taken by these senior citizens carries immense meaning and reverence for their ancestors' customs. The intricate details on their traditional attire reflect not only their dedication but also serve as a testament to Javanese craftsmanship. This remarkable snapshot serves as both an invitation to explore Indonesia's diverse cultural tapestry and a reminder of our responsibility to safeguard our planet's most precious treasures. Through Bruno Barbier/Robert Harding's lens, we are transported into this enchanting world where tradition meets spirituality amidst breathtaking landscapes.
