EDITORS COMMENTS
Causeway on Muharraq Island, Bahrain, Persian Gulf (Late 1940s) This evocative photograph captures the empty and desolate Causeway on Muharraq Island, Bahrain, in the late 1940s. The Persian Gulf in the background shimmers under the sun, reflecting the clear blue sky above. The causeway, a vital connection between the mainland and the island, stands as a silent witness to the tranquility and serenity of this moment in time. Muharraq Island, located in the eastern part of the Persian Gulf, has been an integral part of Bahrain's rich history for centuries. This image, taken in the 1940s, showcases the island's unique architectural landscape, with traditional buildings lining the coast. The city of Muharraq, the former capital of Bahrain, is known for its beautiful pearl diving houses, mosques, and souks. The deserted causeway in the photograph, however, tells a different story. The absence of vehicles and people creates an eerie yet captivating scene. The empty road stretches out towards the horizon, inviting the viewer to imagine the stories that could have unfolded on this very road. The stillness of the water and the quietness of the surroundings add to the sense of isolation and introspection. This photograph is a glimpse into the past, offering a window into a time when life moved at a slower pace, and the natural beauty of the island was the main attraction. The image serves as a reminder of the enduring charm of Muharraq Island and the Persian Gulf, which continues to captivate and inspire visitors to this day.
