EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the 1920s, showcases the unique and mysterious Pitch Lake at La Brea in Trinidad and Tobago. Located in the village of La Brea, this natural wonder is the largest asphalt lake in the world, covering approximately 40 acres. The lake's pitch, a thick, tar-like substance, is believed to have formed over thousands of years due to the decomposition of plant and animal matter. The image portrays the men of the community, who have been extracting the pitch for centuries, engaged in their traditional method of digging it out using simple tools such as shovels and baskets. The pitch was once used primarily for waterproofing roofs and roads, as well as for medicinal purposes. Despite the progress of modern technology, the traditional method of pitch digging remains an integral part of the local culture and economy. The men take great pride in their work, passing down the skills and knowledge from generation to generation. The lake's rich history and the community's dedication to preserving this unique tradition make Pitch Lake at La Brea a must-visit destination for travelers seeking authentic experiences and natural wonders. The photograph captures the essence of the lake's mystique, with the dark, glossy pitch contrasting against the lush greenery and clear blue skies. The scene is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of Trinidad and Tobago and their deep connection to the land.
