Looking at this picture now, I notice how overexposed it is--so much so that the radio antenna (which I promise does indeed stand on that pediment out at sea) has vanished into the brilliantly bright oblivion.

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).

looks peaceful and tranquil; long may it continue
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful and inviting.
ReplyDeleteYes, may your streets stay quiet in these important coming days. I pray for that.
Sometimes accidents like overexposure add much to an atmosphere ;-) - I like the lighting.
ReplyDeleteNot easy shooting into the late afternoon light along the seaside there... I shot a sunset not far from there, will have to go delve into the Beirut photos archive here before too long... so much to post, so little time !
ReplyDeleteJust saw your comment on the church walls from WWI. You are very welcome. I think we have to remain faithful in hope for our species, as the other options are not too cheerful to consider...
PS Just had dinner this evening with a couple from Lebanon, who still have family there. They seemed convinced that things are getting very tense there, like a pot about to boil over. I hadn't picked up on that in the international press... what's your take ?
I'm traveling currently, but I'll be back in Beirut in three weeks. I wish I could comment on the 'mood on the ground' but I won't know until mid-august.
