The neighborhood is nice, but not particularly wealthy. It seems all the people with money want to live in new, sleek, modern buildings. I don't blame them. Living in a historic building is a labor of love, and not everyone has it in them.
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).
Beautiful arches. I vote for photo #1. This looks like it might be a wealthy neighborhood. Is it?
ReplyDeleteYes they are pretty ... the windows and the plants.
ReplyDeleteI like Number 1, too. The harsh sunlight is nice. I suits all the filigree structures very well.

ReplyDeleteI understand your dilemma in choosing. I like the second photo because the light seems a little stronger and I like the odd angle.
ReplyDeleteThe first one..... ?
ReplyDeleteAnyway, both are nice!
