EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the construction of a mill out of hay bales at Oran, Algeria, in an outdoor setting. Oran, also known as Ouahran in Berber language, is a historic city located on the Mediterranean coast in northwestern Algeria. The name Oran is derived from the Berber word Wahran, meaning 'lion's den,' reflecting its strategic importance as the largest westernmost metropolitan area of the Ottoman Empire. In this image, we see the mill taking shape amidst a rustic backdrop of bales of hay, possibly destined for use as fuel or as a roofing material. The mill's simple yet sturdy design showcases the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the people of Oran. The construction process is underway, with workers carefully placing the hay bales, creating a structure that will soon grind grain into flour for the community. The peaceful scene is further enhanced by the lush greenery surrounding the area, adding a sense of tranquility and harmony. The Mediterranean Sea can be glimpsed in the background, emphasizing the region's rich history and cultural heritage. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing a traditional building technique that has been used for centuries in Algeria. It also highlights the region's agricultural roots and the importance of community cooperation in achieving self-sufficiency. Overall, this image is a beautiful representation of the history, culture, and natural beauty of Oran and its people.
