EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative early 20th century photograph captures the breathtaking beauty of Durban's Esplanade as seen from the harbor. The Bay Esplanade, a popular promenade located in the heart of Durban, South Africa, is bathed in sunlight and teeming with activity. The pristine white buildings, with their colonial-era architecture, line the shore, their tall, imposing structures a testament to the city's rich history. The crystal-clear waters of the Indian Ocean lap against the shore, creating a soothing rhythm that has drawn visitors to Durban for generations. In the foreground, a group of people can be seen enjoying a leisurely afternoon by the water, their laughter and chatter adding to the lively atmosphere. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the past, with horse-drawn carriages and sailboats dotting the scene. The absence of modern structures and vehicles lends an air of nostalgia, transporting us back in time to a simpler era. The Esplanade has long been a symbol of Durban's vibrant culture and rich heritage. It is a place where locals and tourists alike come to relax, take in the stunning views, and soak up the sun. This photograph is a reminder of the enduring charm of Durban and its Esplanade, a treasure that continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world.
