Monomad Challenge || Memories of Grief December 26, 2004 at the Aceh Tsunami Museum

Hi Hive Lovers
This is my entry for the #monomad challenge

These are some photos of the dramatic events of the Aceh Tsunami that occurred on December 26, 2004, which were immortalized at the Aceh Tsunami Museum.

If you visit there, you will also see other photos depicting a cataclysmic event that has killed more than 200 thousand people and destroyed the city's entire infrastructure.

I took some photos that are displayed on one of the walls of the museum. They show it in large size and I have made it in black and white.

For some people including myself, black and white photos always produce something different, especially from the point of view of feeling that a black and white photo conveys compared to a color photo. In my opinion, although not all black-and-white photos can show this, this black-and-white community has really grown in that direction. Especially the photos related to our human side.

We were recalling the human tragedy of the 2004 Tsunami that we experienced and left bad memories of it. But, behind every tragedy, there is always a new hope.

Here are 4 photos of a small part of the tragedy for us to watch together and I also accompany with color photos for you to compare:

Photo of the front of the Aceh Tsunami Museum, where "memory of sadness" in various forms is displayed there

Photo of the evacuation of bodies carried out under heavy rain by 2 Indonesian national soldiers who served there

Photo of the evacuation process which also involved tame elephants and heavy equipment to clean the destroyed affected area

Photo of 3 large coconut stalks on the shoreline whose trunks have been cut off by the swift tsunami waves. The power of water can cut them unreasonably

This is a photo of two people who survived the disaster, they looked at the scattered debris from the rest of the tsunami that hit the mainland within a radius of 7 km from the coastline.

There is always a new hope behind every calamity experienced by mankind. If you visit our city, you will never know that there has been a great disaster here which has become an international disaster and became the concern of the whole world at that time. You will only find out clearly and in detail what has happened here by visiting the museum.
