EDITORS COMMENTS
Rua da Calheta, Ponta Delgada, Sao Miguel Island, Azores (circa 1908): A Glimpse into the Past of this Atlantic Ocean Gem Nestled in the heart of the mid-Atlantic Ocean lies the beautiful Portuguese archipelago of the Azores, an enchanting collection of nine volcanic islands. Among them, Sao Miguel, the largest and most populous island, is home to the vibrant city of Ponta Delgada. In this evocative photograph from circa 1908, we are transported back in time to the bustling Rua da Calheta, the city's main thoroughfare. The image reveals a lively urban scene, with a diverse array of Portuguese buildings lining the cobblestone street. Their colorful facades, adorned with intricate details and wrought-iron balconies, exude a sense of history and charm. The buildings seem to rise up from the picturesque embankment, which hugs the coastline and provides a natural barrier against the Atlantic waves. At the end of the street, the quaint harbor comes into view, with its docks and landing areas bustling with activity. Ships of various sizes and shapes can be seen anchored in the harbor, while fishing boats make their way in and out of the docks. The rugged rocks along the coastline add to the dramatic beauty of the scene, providing a stark contrast to the tranquil waters. As we gaze at this photograph, we are reminded of the rich history and vibrant culture that can be found on the islands of the Azores. The image invites us to explore the winding streets of Ponta Delgada, to sample the delicious local cuisine, and to immerse ourselves in the unique character of this enchanting corner of the world.
