EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, a dedicated farmer is seen ploughing the fertile soil of Njegusi, a picturesque village nestled in the Cetinje Municipality of southern Montenegro. The scene unfolds on the slopes of Mount Lovcen, within the boundaries of the Lovcen National Park, where the pristine beauty of nature is intertwined with the simple yet enduring traditions of rural life. The year is 1985, and the farmer's determination is palpable as he guides two sturdy working mules, Njegusi, in pulling his traditional plough through the earth. The mules, with their powerful and agile frames, effortlessly harness their strength to the farmer's cause, their ears pricked and focused on the task at hand. The farmer's face is etched with the lines of experience and the sun's unforgiving rays cast long shadows across the landscape, underscoring the arduous nature of the work. The plough, a symbol of the land's cultivation, cuts through the soil, turning it over to prepare it for the planting season. The scene is reminiscent of a time long past, where the rhythm of the land and the harmony of man and beast were the driving forces behind agriculture. The village of Njegusi, with its winding cobblestone streets, remains a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Montenegro, where the past and the present intertwine in a beautiful dance. This photograph, taken in the 1980s, captures the essence of rural life in Montenegro during a time when traditional farming practices were still the norm. It is a poignant reminder of the enduring connection between the people of Montenegro and the land they call home, and the resilience and ingenuity that have sustained them through the ages. The image is a treasure trove of history and a testament to the beauty and simplicity of rural life.
