This image shows a traditional Indonesian boat resting on the beach at Pangandaran, facing the calm waves of the Indian Ocean. The boat, in bright colours of blue, red and white, reflects local maritime pride. Topped by an Indonesian flag flying in the wind, the boat embodies both national identity and the importance of the sea in the daily lives of the people of Java. In the background, a green hill reinforces the contrast with the sea horizon. The wet sand captures the reflection of the boat, adding a poetic dimension to the scene. More than just a means of transport, this boat represents the tradition, livelihood and culture of Indonesian fishing communities. The photograph gives an impression of serenity and an intimate connection between man and his natural environment, where each element - sea, land and boat - seems to find its place in a subtle harmony. A frozen moment, imbued with simplicity and authentic beauty.
Passionate about photography, I travel the world in search of the most beautiful shots.
