EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of Rue d'Enfer (Hell Street) in Algeria's coastal town of Arzew, circa 1910. Located on the Mediterranean shores of North Africa, Arzew was once a popular seaside resort for European travelers seeking refuge from the harsh European winters. This image transports us to a bygone era, where palm trees line the narrow, winding streets, casting dappled shadows on the sun-kissed pavement. Rue d'Enfer, with its intriguing name, is a vibrant and bustling thoroughfare, filled with the sights, sounds, and smells of daily life. The name, which translates to 'Hell Street,' is a nod to the fiery African sun that beats down upon the cobblestones, as well as the lively energy that courses through the town. The photograph showcases the rich history and cultural diversity of Algeria, with European and African influences evident in the architecture and the people who populate the streets. The palm trees, a symbol of the region's tropical climate, add a touch of exotic allure to the scene, while the traditional Algerian clothing worn by the locals adds a sense of authenticity. This photograph is a rare glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the lives of people who once called Arzew home. It serves as a reminder of the connections that bind us across time and distance, and the enduring appeal of travel and exploration.
