EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1908, showcases the stunning Customs House in Ponta Delgada, the vibrant capital city of Sao Miguel Island in the Azores. The image transports us back in time to the early 1900s, when the Portuguese archipelago was a popular stopover for transatlantic voyages. The Customs House, a grand edifice with an imposing presence, stands proudly at the heart of the city's bustling harbor. Its intricate architectural details, reminiscent of the European influence on the Azores, are a testament to the rich cultural heritage of this unique destination. The building's arched windows, intricate stonework, and red-tiled roof are framed perfectly by the lush greenery of the surrounding gardens. The quay in the foreground bustles with activity, as fishermen unload their catch and merchants sell their wares. The embankment, adorned with colorful houses and quaint shops, adds to the urban charm of the scene. The docks and rocks along the coastline provide a natural barrier against the Atlantic Ocean, which can be seen in the background, its waves crashing against the shore. The photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of Ponta Delgada during a bygone era. The Customs House, with its enduring beauty, continues to be a beloved landmark for visitors and locals alike, symbolizing the enduring connection between the Azores and the Atlantic Ocean.
