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).

And you didn't run off with a melon or two ? You'd think there would be bands of kids following the delivery trucks, ready to run off with the goods if not quickly taken in off those mean streets of Beirut ?
ReplyDeleteFresh produce is always lovely to see and smell. I love the way you are showing little details of life in your city.
ReplyDeleteThose mean Beirut streets are full of eyes and ears and people who know exactly where you live. :)
ReplyDeleteSadly in the part of town where I took this picture, there aren't any hoodlums. It's too cleanly scrubbed. Too bad, I say.
Yes, too cleanly scrubbed. This looks like it is close to yesterday's trunk judging from the masonry and wood.
ReplyDeleteGood eye, Julie. It's maybe 500m from the LV monstrosity.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, indeed, you have a point there...
ReplyDeleteBeirut is the only place in the world I've ever been stopped by plainclothes police who wanted to see every photo on my digital camera and wanted to know why I had taken some of them...
(I had made the mistake of photographing a rather colorful old house in the street adjacent to the Druze headquarters building)
It's sad but true, and thoroughly ridiculous. There's this notion that a photo compromises the security of a building. As though Google Earth hasn't already published all the photos anyone would ever need to plan and execute just about anything . . .
