Mentawai Islands — Time Ruled by Blue

This page contains affiliate links.


In the Mentawai Islands at noon, color speaks before words. Under the strong sun, the sea and sky melt into a single shade of blue, as if their boundaries no longer exist. There is no spectacle of a tourist destination here—only time, shaped quietly as nature continues to be. What you see on this page are fragments of that time, ruled entirely by blue.
