Submerged Tradition on the Korana River
Today we are walking along our Korana river. 🌿 I'm fascinated by this ancient tradition of preserving wooden boats – the boats are intentionally submerged in the river to protect them from decay and high water levels. Keeping a wooden boat in the sun and dry air only accelerates rot and cracks. When underwater, the wood swells, closes its pores, and thus conserves itself naturally. I came across this mooring where all the boats are submerged like this and had to capture it in black and white.
Potopljena Tradicija na Korani
Danas šetamo uz našu Koranu. 🌿 Fascinira me ova drevna tradicija čuvanja drvenih čamaca – čamci se namjerno potope u rijeku kako bi se sačuvali od propadanja i visokog vodostaja. Držanje drvenog čamca na suncu i suhom zraku samo pospješuje truljenje i pukotine. Kada je pod vodom, drvo nabubri, zatvori pore i tako se prirodno konzervira. Naletio sam na ovaj vez gdje su svi čamci tako potopljeni i morao sam to zabilježiti u crno-bijeloj tehnici.
