EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, taken in the late 19th century, showcases the breathtaking beauty of the Rhumel river ravine in Constantine, Algeria. The image transports us back in time, inviting us to explore the rich cultural heritage of this historic North African city. Nestled at the foot of the rugged mountains, the Rhumel river cuts through the landscape, carving a stunning path that is both wild and serene. The rocks, worn smooth by the relentless flow of water, glisten in the sunlight, while the verdant vegetation clings precariously to the steep slopes. The traditional architecture of Constantine is also on full display in this photograph, with the red-tiled roofs of the houses contrasting sharply against the blue sky and the lush greenery. The city, founded in the 3rd century BC, has a long and complex history, with influences from the Romans, Arabs, Ottomans, and French. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of travel and exploration, as well as the power of the camera to capture and preserve moments in time. It invites us to imagine the stories of the people who lived and worked in this beautiful and historic place, and to appreciate the natural wonders that continue to inspire and captivate us today.
