EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the breathtaking scenery near Umtali, now known as Mutare, in Southern Rhodesia (Zimbabwe), as seen from Christmas Pass in 1936. The image transports us back in time to the 1930s, an era of simple pleasures and natural beauty. The winding road, dotted with cars and vehicles, leads the eye through the lush, green landscape, with its rolling hills, dense foliage, and the occasional farmhouse or homestead nestled among the trees. The serene stillness of the scene is punctuated by the occasional passing car, adding a sense of movement and progress. The clear blue sky, dotted with fluffy white clouds, completes the idyllic picture. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the natural beauty of Southern Rhodesia and the simple joys of travel in the 1930s. The image is a testament to the enduring allure of the African landscape and the sense of adventure that comes with exploring new places.
