This print by Michael Runkel/Robert Harding transports us to the Island of Babeldoab in Palau, located in the Central Pacific. The image showcases an ancient structure known as "Old bai" which served as a chiefs house and holds immense historical significance. The architectural beauty of this heritage site is truly remarkable, with its distinct Pacific triangle design and vibrant yellow exterior. Standing tall against the clear blue sky on a sunny day, it beckons travelers from all corners of the world to explore its rich history. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of the incredible journey that travel can offer. It takes us back in time to witness the meeting houses where important discussions were held and decisions were made by tribal leaders. What makes this artwork even more intriguing is how it incorporates animal likenesses alongside human figures, representing both nature and humanity's interconnectedness on this remote island paradise. Palau's central location within the vast Pacific Ocean adds another layer of allure to this destination. Its untouched landscapes and cultural treasures make it a must-visit place for any avid traveler seeking unique experiences. Through Michael Runkel/Robert Harding's lens, we are transported into a different era - one filled with stories waiting to be discovered amidst breathtaking architecture and awe-inspiring history.
