EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a tranquil moment along the Pegirian River in Surabaya, Java, Indonesia, circa 1908. The serene scene unfolds as the calm waters reflect the vibrant colors of the surrounding landscape. Moored sampans, traditional Indonesian boats, line the canal's edge, their wooden hulls glistening in the sun. The gentle sway of the boats creates a soothing rhythm, punctuated by the occasional splash of water as small fish jump from the surface. In the foreground, a cart with intricately carved wheels and a parasol-shaded passenger adds a touch of elegance to the scene. The parasol, a common accessory in the tropical climate, provides shade and protection from the sun. The kalimas, or traditional market boats, can be seen in the background, adding a bustling energy to the otherwise peaceful riverside. The scene exudes a sense of timelessness, transporting us back to a simpler era. The people of Surabaya went about their daily lives along the riverbank, utilizing the waterway for transportation, commerce, and leisure. The Pegirian River, with its rich history and cultural significance, continues to be an integral part of Surabaya's identity, offering a glimpse into the past while providing a living link to the present.
