EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled ""Nahr el-Kalb" (the river of the dog) amongst the mountains of Lebanon, near Beirut, in Palestine" takes us back to a bygone era. Dating back to around 1870, this image captures the essence of solitude and silence amidst breathtaking natural beauty. The photograph showcases the Nahr el-Kalb river as it winds its way through the majestic mountains of Lebanon, near Beirut. The river's name itself holds an intriguing allegorical meaning - "the river of the dog". It serves as a symbol that sparks curiosity and invites contemplation about its significance in local folklore. In this image, we see a bridge spanning across the tranquil waters of Nahr el-Kalb. This structure stands tall and sturdy, serving as both a road for transportation and an architectural marvel against nature's rocky backdrop. Its presence adds depth to our understanding of how humans have sought to conquer these rugged landscapes throughout history. The landscape surrounding the river is awe-inspiring with its rocky terrain and lush greenery. It reminds us that nature can be both harsh and beautiful simultaneously. The photographer skillfully captures this juxtaposition between strength and fragility. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this photograph also evokes deeper emotions within us. It speaks to our longing for connection with something greater than ourselves – perhaps even hinting at an abstract concept or subject expressed through nature's grandeur. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot from Alinari. it, we are transported not only geographically but also mentally into a world where time seems suspended. We find solace in contemplating life's mysteries while appreciating humanity's ability to create enduring structures amidst ever-changing landscapes.
