I walked past this shop in my comings and goings for months before I finally went in, at Christmastime, to buy a festive lump of sugary goodness. The shop looked even smaller from the inside, but was enthralling and I shyly asked if I might take a few pictures before I left. The shopkeeper was happy to oblige, but my camera's batteries were dead. DEAD. And it took me until now to walk that street again.

There's a tiny little sweets shop in Hamra called Ramona. That's their broken-down sign hanging up to the left.

I love the feel and look of this photo - it says at least 1,000 words! I want to see a photo from inside, too! Did you say candy and sweets....
ReplyDeleteI hate it when the batteries died, happened to me recently at the start of Sydney's First Night Festival.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy your pictures of Beirut. It is so old, yet teeming with life and history. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry your batteries were dead! That is so disappointing. But, you must go back. Now we need to see the inside of the sweet shop.
What I like about this shop, is how familiar it makes the unfamiliar. By concentrating on just this little section, you reflect similarities in my own neighbourhood.
ReplyDeleteI love such small local shops, I prefer them from large markets!
