EDITORS COMMENTS
Cape Rock, also known as Cabo da Roca, is the westernmost point in Europe, located southwest of Lisbon, Portugal. This stunning photograph, taken circa 1950, captures the breathtaking beauty of this coastal area. The rugged cliffs, battered by the relentless waves of the Atlantic Ocean, stand as a testament to the power of nature. In the foreground, a group of cars are parked along the side of the road, their tires kicking up tufts of grass as tourists disembark to take in the breathtaking view. The simple, whitewashed buildings of the lighthouse, perched precariously on the edge of the cliff, stand as a beacon of safety and guidance for sailors navigating the treacherous waters of the Atlantic. The 1950s and 1940s were a time of growing tourism in Portugal, and Cabo da Roca became a popular destination for visitors seeking to explore the natural wonders of the country. The simple pleasures of a day at the coast, with the salty sea air, the sound of crashing waves, and the company of friends and family, are on full display in this photograph. Despite the passage of time and the changes that have come to this area, the essence of Cabo da Roca remains unchanged. It continues to be a place of beauty, inspiration, and wonder, drawing visitors from around the world to marvel at the power and majesty of the natural world.
