1967 Digue Lean Leaning Palm Seychelles
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of simple island life on La Digue, one of the inner islands of the Seychelles, circa 1967. The image features a group of men, dressed in traditional clothing, gathered around a small hut with a thatched roof. One man is leaning against the tree trunk, while another is seated on the ground, holding a fishing net. In the foreground, a traditional Seychellois outrigger canoe rests on the sand, its hull adorned with intricate carvings. The trees in the background are a lush, verdant canopy of palm and other tropical foliage, providing a striking contrast to the stark, white sand of the beach. The sun casts dappled shadows across the scene, adding depth and texture to the image. The serene atmosphere is further emphasized by the calm, clear waters of the sea in the background. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when life was simpler, more in tune with nature. The men in the image are engaged in activities that have been a part of Seychellois culture for generations - fishing, building huts, and living in harmony with their environment. The image is a testament to the enduring beauty and charm of La Digue, and the Seychelles as a whole.
