EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Mel Longhurst showcases the serene beauty of a lakeside house built on stilts in Shan State, Myanmar. The image transports us to Inle Lake, where this architectural marvel stands as a testament to the rich cultural heritage and traditional way of life in the region. The vibrant blue sky reflects off the calm waters, creating a picturesque backdrop for this abode that seems to float effortlessly above its surroundings. Supported by sturdy timber pilings, the elevated dwelling offers both practicality and charm. As we admire this scene, our eyes are drawn to a canoe gliding gracefully along the water's surface. A child sits inside it, representing the daily lives of villagers who call these stilted houses their homes. The sight evokes a sense of tranquility and simplicity that is often lost in modern urban settings. The timber-clad structure blends harmoniously with its natural environment while providing shelter and protection from potential floods or rising water levels. It serves as an attraction for tourists seeking an authentic experience amidst Myanmar's breathtaking landscapes. Mel Longhurst has captured not only a moment frozen in time but also the essence of village life on Inle Lake. This photograph invites us to embark on our own journey through this enchanting destination, immersing ourselves in its unique culture and embracing the peacefulness that can be found within these traditional dwellings.
