EDITORS COMMENTS
In the heart of the Algerian desert, a figure dressed in traditional attire stands in contemplation amidst the vast expanse of sand dunes in Columb-Bechar. The soft, golden light filters through the air, casting long shadows and illuminating the undulating landscape. The man wears a Taraza, a wide-brimmed straw hat that is a common sight in both Morocco and Algeria, shielding him from the harsh desert sun. His hands are folded in prayer, a moment of reflection amidst the seemingly endless expanse of sand. In the distance, a lone camel wanders, adding to the sense of isolation and tranquility. The Taraza, a symbol of the North African desert culture, has been worn by both sexes for generations, providing protection from the sun and the elements. This photograph, captured in the 1910s, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when life was simpler, and the connection to nature was more profound. The desert, with its raw beauty and stark contrasts, continues to inspire awe and wonder, and this image is a testament to its enduring allure.
