EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the breathtaking beauty of the Gulf of Stora near Philippeville, Algeria, in the early 1900s. The image, taken around 1905, showcases the stunning Mediterranean coastline with its crystal-clear waters and picturesque hills in the background. The quaint buildings along the shoreline add to the charm of this idyllic scene. The small fishing boats dotted along the coastline are a testament to the livelihood of the local community, who have relied on the sea for their sustenance for generations. The boats, with their colorful sails, add a dynamic element to the tranquil scene, creating a perfect balance between the stillness of the water and the movement of the boats. The hillside in the background is dotted with trees and vegetation, providing a lush contrast to the blue waters of the gulf. The hillside also offers a glimpse into the lives of the people who lived in the area during that time, with their simple homes and terraced fields. The Gulf of Stora, located near the city of Philippeville, now known as Skikda, is a popular tourist destination in Algeria, renowned for its natural beauty and rich cultural heritage. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of simplicity and natural beauty.
