Shepherds on the Summit of Mount Lebanon: A Scene of Timeless Tradition This evocative photograph captures a moment in time, transporting us back to the early 20th century and the rugged beauty of Mount Lebanon. The image features a group of Lebanese shepherds, their figures silhouetted against the snow-capped peaks. They are seen tending to their flock, grazing on the lush, green pastures that blanket the mountain's slopes. The shepherds are dressed in traditional felt-cloaks, known locally as 'square coats.' These thick, felt garments were a common sight in Lebanon during this era, serving as both insulation against the biting cold and a symbol of the region's rich cultural heritage. The shepherds' faces are etched with the lines of hard work and the elements, their eyes reflecting the determination and resilience required to live and work in such a challenging environment. The scene is one of pastoral simplicity, with the shepherds and their sheep forming a harmonious relationship against the backdrop of the majestic Mount Lebanon. The photograph is a testament to the enduring connection between the people and the land, a bond that has shaped the region's history and identity for generations. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the timeless beauty and tradition of Lebanon, a place where the past and present intertwine to create a unique and enchanting tapestry.
