Mary Ann, I have recently stumbled upon your blog and think it ingenius! I am a very proud Lebanese who finds it incredibly sad that most people who are not Lebanese do not realize it is such a pearl, especially living in sunny Western Southern California. I think "Beirut Pursuit" is magnificent and your pictures capture the world I grew up in. Thank you.
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).
This is a lovely shot. The cheerful blue spool and the warn paintwork.

ReplyDeleteThanks, Maya. That's exactly how I feel about Beirut, and exactly why I blog about it the way I do.
ReplyDeleteThe colour of the spool and the flaking are just perfect for the location. I love how your eye sees this sort of thing.
