EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of Colombo's bustling Main Street in Sri Lanka, circa 1920. The image transports us to a bygone era, filled with the sights, sounds, and energy of daily life. The street is a vibrant mosaic of activity, with a red double-decker tram making its way through the throng of pedestrians. The passengers on the tram appear to be engaged in animated conversations, while those on the pavement haggle over goods or simply go about their errands. Rickshaws, a common mode of transportation in Colombo during that period, can be seen weaving in and out of the crowd. Their colorful canopies and the determined expressions of their drivers add to the visual richness of the scene. The architecture of the buildings lining the street is a testament to the diverse influences that have shaped the city. European-style structures with ornate columns and balconies stand alongside more traditional Sri Lankan houses with tiled roofs and intricate woodwork. Despite the hustle and bustle, there is a sense of order and rhythm to the chaos. The people of Colombo move with purpose, their faces reflecting a mix of determination, curiosity, and contentment. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to reflect on the resilience and vitality of this remarkable city.
