EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scenic beauty and charm of Ras Beirut neighbourhood in Beirut, Lebanon, during the early 1910s. The image showcases the rocky shoreline of the Mediterranean Sea, with its crystal-clear waters gently lapping against the rugged coast. The Ras Beirut neighbourhood, located in the western part of the city, is a picturesque residential area that has long been a favorite among locals and visitors alike. The photograph reveals a tranquil scene of simple pleasures, with fishermen casting their nets from the rocks, children playing near the water's edge, and families enjoying the fresh sea breeze. The rocky terrain of the shore provides a striking contrast to the lush greenery of the nearby hills, adding to the area's unique character. At the time, Ras Beirut was a thriving community, with a rich cultural heritage and a diverse population. The neighborhood was known for its elegant villas, charming houses, and beautiful gardens, which offered breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea. Despite the passage of time and the challenges that Beirut has faced over the years, Ras Beirut remains a cherished part of the city's history and identity. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of the Mediterranean coast and the resilience of the people of Beirut, who continue to find joy and inspiration in the natural beauty of their surroundings. It is a reminder of the simple pleasures that can be found in the world around us, and the importance of preserving the places that hold deep meaning and significance for generations to come.
