EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the serene beauty of Icilma Natural Spring in Port-aux-Poules, a picturesque village nestled in the Oran Province of Northwest Algeria. Circa 1910, this image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the rural landscape of Algeria during the early 20th century. The crystal-clear waters of the natural spring flow gently into a series of pools, surrounded by lush, verdant grasslands. The tranquil setting is a stark contrast to the arid landscape that characterizes much of the region. The natural spring, a vital source of water, was a lifeline for the local community, providing sustenance and sustenance for both humans and livestock. The peaceful scene is further enhanced by the natural beauty of the area, with the undulating hills and rolling terrain providing a breathtaking backdrop. The image is reminiscent of the idyllic rural landscapes of Europe, yet retains a distinctly African character, with the warm, golden hues of the sun casting long shadows over the landscape. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of natural wonders and the importance of water as a source of life. It invites us to reflect on the simple pleasures of rural life and the beauty of the natural world, untouched by the passage of time.
