EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1927, transports us back in time to the bustling streets of Colombo, Sri Lanka. The image, titled "Colpetty Road, Colombo," showcases the vibrant energy and charm of this historic city. The wide, tree-lined avenue is filled with rickshaws, each one manned by a determined driver, ready to navigate the winding roads. The tall palm trees, their fronds reaching for the sky, provide a lush canopy over the scene, offering a glimpse into the tropical climate that defines this beautiful island nation. Colpetty Road, located in the heart of Colombo, was once a popular thoroughfare for both locals and foreigners. The photograph captures the essence of daily life in Sri Lanka during the early 20th century, with rickshaws serving as a primary mode of transportation for the people. The image also highlights the unique blend of cultures that have shaped Colombo, with the diverse population reflected in the faces of the rickshaw drivers. The photograph, taken in 1927, is a testament to the rich history and vibrant character of Colombo and Sri Lanka as a whole. It invites us to explore the stories of the past and to appreciate the enduring allure of this remarkable destination.
