Description :
This black and white image illustrates a scene of daily life in a village in Port Barton, on the island of Palawan in the Philippines. A dirt road crosses the frame, lined with dense, lush vegetation typical of the tropics.
In the centre, a motorised tricycle, an emblematic means of transport in the Philippines, carries two passengers and some goods. In the background, other residents go about their business, walking or chatting quietly. On the right, a woman carefully sweeps the ground, symbolising the small daily tasks needed to keep order in this peaceful setting.
The atmosphere is one of simplicity and authenticity. The clothes of the passers-by, the rustic tools and the details of the landscape reflect the relaxed rural lifestyle of this region.
This timeless shot, with its strong contrast and shades of grey, captures a harmony between human activity and the natural environment, testifying to the gentle way of life in this unspoilt corner of the Philippines.
Passionate about photography, I travel the world in search of the most beautiful shots.
