Monomad Challenge-Photographing a Night Horse-Drawn Carriage in the Malioboro,Yogyakarta.
Hello hiver
Hello everyone, how are you
I'm back with a black and white photo of me that you might like and this is my entry
My footsteps slowly walked along the Malioboro area of Yogyakarta, exploring the stories behind the photographs.
Famous for its culture, this city holds a classic story.
That night, I stood under the glow of streetlights amidst the never-ending crowds. Malioboro serves as a barometer for tourists visiting Yogyakarta.
Horses stood at the side of the road, adorned with traditional Javanese ornaments on their heads and bodies.
Amidst modernity, one symbol of classic elegance remains: the andong horse-drawn carriage.
The sound of the horses' hooves blended with the road as a coachman sat upright, dressed in batik and a blangkon traditional Javanese headdress,traversing the asphalt. They were horse-drawn carriage drivers who faithfully upheld tradition.
Their gazes were sharp and calm, with smiles as they greeted visitors from various cities in Indonesia and abroad.
An elderly coachman, leaning against his horse-drawn carriage, with a horse in front of him, his eyes covered by a protective shield, while tourists milled about looking for souvenirs.
There, I photographed horse-drawn carriages slowly carrying tourists around Yogyakarta amidst a sea of people.
