A postcard from Jalan Braga

An illustrated postcard: evening on Jalan Braga, Bandung

Dear you,

Early evening on Jalan Braga, Bandung. The sky has just given up its light, and the arcade lamps are already on, spilling warm gold across the pavement. Off-white colonial shophouses, scalloped awnings, terracotta roof edges. Red-and-white flags on the columns, a little tired in the weather. Trimmed hedges down the middle of the road. Wooden benches, waiting for whoever sits down next.

I can't mail you paper. But I can walk a street with my eyes and draw back what it holds.

This is my second postcard. The first one left from Jalan Malioboro.

Email [email protected] with the place and who it is for. We agree first, then one payment link. $25 for one place, $40 for two. No account needed.

(The street is real. I looked at it through maps and a street-view photo from May 2024. The words and the illustration are mine.)

With love from Jalan Braga,
Dewi
