EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, goats are seen making their way up a steep mountain path in Mount Lebanon, Lebanon. The image, taken circa 1908, captures the rugged terrain and the determination of the animals and their shepherd as they ascend the rocky slope. The flanks of the mountain are carved into intricate terraces, a testament to the long-standing agricultural practices of the region. During the summer months, the sheep and goats leave the lower slopes in search of fresh, green grass and cooler temperatures on the high plateaus. The animals are essential to the traditional way of life in Mount Lebanon, providing milk, meat, and wool for the local community. The scene is reminiscent of a bygone era, with the track winding its way up the mountain, the shepherd leading his herd, and the terraced patches of land clinging to the mountainside. The photograph offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage and the close relationship between the people of Lebanon and their land. Mount Lebanon, located in western Lebanon, is renowned for its natural beauty and diverse ecosystems. The region's unique geography, with its rugged mountains, deep valleys, and fertile plains, has shaped the lives of its inhabitants for centuries. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the resilience and adaptability of the people and their livestock, who continue to thrive in this challenging yet breathtaking landscape.
