EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph taken in the 1980s, a Bedouin shepherd from Palmyra, Syria, cradles a young lamb in his arms, a warm and tender moment between man and animal against the backdrop of ancient ruins. The sun casts a golden glow over the scene, illuminating the intricate details of the ancient city's sandstone walls. The shepherd wears traditional Bedouin robes, his face etched with lines of wisdom and experience, as he gazes down at the lamb with a gentle, loving expression. The young lamb, with its soft, curly wool and bright, curious eyes, rests comfortably in his arms, returning the shepherd's affectionate gaze. The image captures the timeless connection between the Bedouin people and their livestock, as they have lived in harmony with the desert landscape for generations. The ancient ruins of Palmyra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, serve as a reminder of the rich history and culture that has shaped this region for thousands of years. This poignant scene offers a glimpse into the daily life of the Bedouin people, their resilience, and their deep-rooted connection to the land and their animals.
