There are days when summer feels as endless as the sea.
All along the Corniche at this time of year, people (mostly men, but a woman or child here or there) swim in the shallow water near land or perch on the seaweed covered rocks and tide pools.
A sparkling photo. You are lucky to have the sea nearby. The whole summer seems endless, with the unrelenting heat and sun. I'm ready for the next season already. Have you ever been down to see the coast at Ras-a-Nakura?
Thanks for all the nice comments. To those who asked about swimming . . . it's allowed for women and children to swim here, but not really common and I'm not sure I would want to do it.
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).

What a beautiful area to swim. Is it a cultural concern that there are few women/children swimming?
ReplyDeleteJust the perspective here makes it appear endless. The glint is very attractive. Such a different type of image from you.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful spot & wonderful summertime image. Hopefully you had a chance to cool off yourself by taking a dip!:)
ReplyDeleteThis gives new meaning to "from sea to shining see..."
ReplyDeletePerfect picture! I love the sparkle, the grays and violets, the silhouettes. Like Julie said, it appears to go on forever.
