EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the serene beauty of Cantonment Gardens in Yangon, Myanmar (formerly Rangoon, Burma), around the year 1906. The lush greenery and tranquil atmosphere of the gardens stand in stark contrast to the bustling cityscape that surrounds them. Established in the late 19th century, Cantonment Gardens were once the recreational haven for British officers and their families stationed in the area. The gardens were meticulously designed to resemble an English country estate, complete with manicured lawns, ornate fountains, and a variety of exotic flora. At the heart of the gardens lies the serene Kandawgyi Lake, which reflects the majestic Schwedagon Pagoda in its calm waters. The pagoda, a sacred Buddhist site and one of Yangon's most iconic landmarks, is bathed in the soft glow of the setting sun, casting a golden hue over the gardens. The Burmese people, dressed in traditional attire, can be seen enjoying the gardens, adding to the vibrant and diverse atmosphere. The photograph captures a moment in time when the influences of the East and West came together in Yangon, creating a unique blend of cultures and traditions. The photograph is a testament to the rich history and heritage of Myanmar, and serves as a reminder of the beauty and tranquility that can be found amidst the hustle and bustle of city life.
