This issue focuses on Lebanon's rich natural geography and historical water infrastructure by depicting a stone mill and arched bridge along the flowing cascades of the Dog River (Nahr el-Kalb). The subject highlights the historic valley's role as a vital corridor for transport and agricultural crafts, where the rushing waters powered local industry for generations. The illustration carries a message of environmental harmony and continuity, showcasing traditional stone dwellings and iconic Mediterranean pine trees nestled into the rugged mountainsides.
