EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the stunning contrast between the quaint town of Blida and the majestic Tell Atlas mountains in the background, as seen in this turn-of-the-century image from the 1910s. The picturesque church, with its red-tiled roof and tall bell tower, stands proudly in the foreground, surrounded by the lush greenery of the town. The tranquil scene is a testament to the harmonious coexistence of nature and human settlement in this beautiful corner of Algeria. Located in the Blida Province in the northern part of the country, the town of Blida has a rich history that dates back to ancient Roman times. The region was a popular destination for European travelers and settlers during the colonial era, drawn by its mild climate, fertile land, and scenic beauty. The Tell Atlas mountains, an African range that stretches over 1,500 kilometers from north to south, provide a dramatic backdrop to the town, with their rugged peaks and verdant valleys. Despite the passage of time and the many changes that have taken place in this part of the world, the image of the church and the mountains in Blida continues to captivate the imagination, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the enduring beauty of the natural world.
