And the new one: 
They're within only a few hundred meters of each other. I took this picture from way up in the air on the Ferris Wheel. Every so often, our kids persuade us to take them there.

About Me
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).

See? Ferris wheels are good for something!
ReplyDeleteIt comes as a surprise to see lighthouses in Beirut, but then, so many things in your blog are a surprise to me. So much to learn . . .
I love lighthouses and I would never have thought of Beirut needing one...or two!
ReplyDeleteHmm, now that you mention it, I have to wonder myself what purpose a lighthouse serves in the days of GPS and other remote sensing technologies--perhaps the lighthouse is the backup plan?
ReplyDeleteI was thinking you have a great viewpoint ... little thinking it would be from a ferris wheel. I can understand why the kids like it so much.
ReplyDeleteGood point about GPS, but I presume these two LHs predated that technology. It all begs the question: what is shipping being warned about? Shoals, rocks, shallow water. Land ahoy?
ReplyDeleteOne has a classic look, the other a modern, Middle Eastern look.
