EDITORS COMMENTS
Tangiers, Morocco - The Lighthouse (circa 1909): A Timeless Beacon of Hope and Navigation Nestled on the northernmost tip of Morocco, overlooking the Strait of Gibraltar, stands the iconic lighthouse of Tangiers. This photograph, taken around 1909, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when the world was more connected by sea than by air. The lighthouse, known locally as Phare de Tanger, is a testament to the ingenuity and resilience of mankind. Its towering silhouette has been a beacon of hope and safety for seafarers for over a century, guiding them through the treacherous waters of the Strait of Gibraltar and ensuring their safe passage to the shores of Europe and Africa. The photograph captures the lighthouse in all its glory, with the setting sun casting a warm, golden hue over its weathered stone walls. The vibrant blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea stretch out before it, dotted with the sails of traditional fishing boats and the masts of larger vessels. The bustling city of Tangiers, with its labyrinthine streets and colorful markets, can be seen in the distance, a vibrant contrast to the tranquility of the sea and the lighthouse. This photograph is a reminder of the rich history and cultural diversity of Morocco, a country that has long been a melting pot of influences from Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. It also serves as a testament to the enduring power of nature and the human spirit, as the lighthouse continues to stand tall and proud, a symbol of hope and guidance for all who pass by.
