Reflected late afternoon sun danced on the upper floor of this decadent villa in Achrafieh as I happened to pass it.
I love the horseshoe arch, especially when it looks balanced as these do. The horseshoe can look top-heavy and unstable, but these are just right I think.
They are delicate and detailed, which I like very much. The one up top on the left, which has open shutters, displays more delicacy. Like an open shirt revealing a lace bra ... or something.
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).
I love this!:)

ReplyDeleteI love that spot of sunlight. Something I have also notice in your images of buildings are all the wires stringing about the place.
ReplyDeleteIt's like a grown woman's doll house. Yes cables are a staple of Achrafieh.
ReplyDeleteI love the detail in the shutters.
