EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the 1910s, showcases the unique and intriguing Maize Pyramids of the Azores, a remote archipelago located in the mid-Atlantic Ocean and part of Portugal. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the rich agricultural history of this enchanting region. The pyramid-like structures in the photograph are actually maize crops, expertly crafted by the skilled hands of the Azorean farmers. The method of constructing these towering formations, known as "milho verde" or green corn, is a traditional practice that has been passed down through generations. The process begins with the farmers planting maize seeds in a circular pattern, allowing the stalks to grow tall and strong. As the corn grows, the farmers carefully tie the stalks together, creating a lattice-like structure that supports the weight of the ears of corn. Once fully grown, the farmers remove the lower leaves, revealing the golden kernels. The pyramids are then formed by carefully arranging the ears of corn on top of each other, creating a striking and impressive display. The Maize Pyramids of the Azores are not only a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the local farmers but also a symbol of the strong connection between the people and the land. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into a bygone era, inviting us to appreciate the beauty and richness of the Azores' agricultural heritage.
