EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the 1930s, showcases the picturesque scene of the Orontes River in Hama, Syria. The image depicts a bustling bridge filled with the hustle and bustle of daily life. Pedestrians, dressed in traditional Syrian attire, make their way across the bridge, their footsteps echoing against the stone structure. In the foreground, a line of camels and their handlers patiently wait on the bank, ready to transport goods and passengers across the river. The Orontes River, a historic and culturally significant waterway, winds its way through the ancient city of Hama, located in western Syria. The bridge, a testament to the region's rich history, connects the two banks of the river and serves as a vital link for the community. The banks of the river are dotted with lush vegetation and palm trees, adding to the serene and idyllic atmosphere. The calm waters of the Orontes reflect the blue sky above, creating a stunning contrast against the warm, earthy tones of the bridge and the surrounding landscape. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to a simpler era. It showcases the resilience and adaptability of the people of Hama, who have thrived alongside the Orontes River for centuries. The image is a poignant reminder of the enduring beauty and charm of Syria's historic cities and rivers.
