EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enchanting narrow pathway leading through the lush Alameda Gardens, located at the border of Spain and Portugal near Gibraltar. Established in 1816 by the British Governor, General George Don, these gardens were created as a respite for the residents of Gibraltar, providing an oasis of tranquility amidst the bustling military outpost. The gardens are nestled between the two countries, showcasing a unique blend of European cultures. The image, taken circa 1900, reveals a picturesque scene of a well-worn cobblestone path, flanked by vibrant shrubs and towering trees. The verdant foliage creates a canopy overhead, casting dappled sunlight onto the ground below. A quaint lantern peeks out from the undergrowth, adding a touch of whimsy to the scene. The Alameda Gardens were a cherished escape for the Gibraltar community, offering a reprieve from the daily rigors of life in a strategic military stronghold. This photograph serves as a stunning reminder of the beauty and history that can be found in unexpected places, and the enduring appeal of nature as a source of solace and inspiration.
