EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mysterious and awe-inspiring sight of the Hanging Coffins of Animistic Applai elders, entombed on limestone cliffs in Sagada Town, located in the Cordillera Mountains of Benguet Province, Luzon, Philippines. The image showcases a unique burial custom that has been practiced by this tribal community for generations. The high angle view allows us to fully appreciate the breathtaking landscape surrounding these ancient tombs. Against the backdrop of towering rock cliffs, these coffins hang precariously from ropes and wooden beams, defying gravity and creating an eerie yet fascinating spectacle. The vibrant colors captured in this photograph bring to life the rich cultural heritage of Southeast Asia. It is a testament to the resilience and reverence for tradition held by these tribal people who continue to practice animism – a belief system deeply rooted in nature worship. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to a remote corner of the world where time seems suspended. It serves as a reminder that there are still hidden gems waiting to be discovered within our diverse planet. Christian Kober/Robert Harding's photography skillfully portrays not only an extraordinary travel destination but also invites us into a realm where customs and rituals intertwine with natural wonders. This print is sure to ignite curiosity and inspire wanderlust among those who seek adventure off-the-beaten-path.
