EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the 1970s, three young women are seen hitchhiking on the side of the road in Ipsos, Corfu, Greece. Dressed in casual summer clothing typical of the era, they have their thumbs out, ready to signal to passing vehicles for a ride. The sun-kissed landscape of Corfu's beautiful coastline stretches out behind them, with the crystal-clear waters of the Ionian Sea glistening in the distance. This image captures the carefree spirit of travel during the 1970s, a time when hitchhiking was a popular and affordable means of transportation for young people on holiday. The historical significance of this photograph lies in its depiction of a time when travel was less regimented and more adventurous, before the widespread use of modern transportation methods like planes and buses. The three women in the photograph exude a sense of excitement and anticipation, as they wait for their next ride to take them further along their journey. Their youthful energy and sense of adventure are palpable, making this photograph a nostalgic reminder of a bygone era of leisurely travel and exploration. The rustic charm of the roadside setting, with its rough terrain and overgrown vegetation, adds to the sense of adventure and discovery. The warm, golden light of the sun casting long shadows on the ground further emphasizes the passing of time and the fleeting nature of youth. This photograph is a beautiful snapshot of history, capturing a moment in time that is both timeless and unique to the 1970s. It is a reminder of the freedom and sense of adventure that comes with travel, and the enduring allure of the open road.
