I walked past these flowers in St. Nicholas--a neighborhood near Achrafieh. They were out of the way in a little nook where no one was likely to notice them.
Everybody's looking for something. Mary Ann is looking for the real Beirut, whatever that means. These are the photos she takes along the way.
You can browse around the archives here or check out her other blogs. There's one from a few years ago, back when she blogged about art. And then there's another from '09 when she lived in St. Louis (USA).
Very nice photo. It's a lovely arrangement.
ReplyDeleteAhhh the Lebanese do the fake flowers in a pot thing too, huh? I thought it was only us tacky American's.
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of some of the nooks that Jilly in Menton discovers. Is there some religious or memorial purpose to them?
ReplyDeleteThere are few things more sad and forlorn than fading fake flowers.
Now say THAT quickly ...
Fake flowers are actually easy to find here--odd given what is hard to find.
ReplyDeleteThese were for sale--just beyond the right edge of the frame there were lots of other plants--not fake, I think, all for sale.
