This image perfectly illustrates the vitality of the port of Pangandaran, located on the south coast of Java, Indonesia. In the foreground, a stone breakwater protects the shoreline, while beyond, dozens of colourful fishing boats float peacefully in the calm waters of the port. The boats, lined up and decorated with Indonesian flags, bear witness to intense maritime activity and a way of life deeply rooted in local culture. The background reveals a bustling village with red roofs and a slender white tower, no doubt a landmark for locals and sailors alike. Further away, lush tropical vegetation and the silhouette of wooded hills complete this typical Indonesian backdrop. The scene reflects the balance between the work of the fishermen, community life and the surrounding natural beauty. It is an authentic snapshot of Javanese coastal life, where sea and land come together to support local traditions and the family economy.
