  1. Baalbeck

    Carving from the 3 millennium at the site of Baalbeck.

  2. Qartaba, Lebanon; 11.2007

    The house across from my family summer home in the mountainous village of Qartaba, Lebanon.

    I photograph this every time I visit...and every time, it is vacant. I am told people live there, just (mysteriously) not when I am there.

  3. Lebanese Cedar

    While it's true, no one thing defines any place...a good argument could be made for Lebanon and its Cedar Trees & Wood.

    The Lebanon Cedar has always been the national emblem of Lebanon, and it is seen on the Lebanese Flag.

    Cedar of Lebanon was important to various civilizations.

  4. Byblos Boats

    Fishing boats in the historic port town of Byblos (Jbeil, in Arabic), Lebanon on the Mediterranean Sea.
    Almost always bustling with activity--both native fisherman and visitors to the nearby Souk alike.

    Go up and introduce yourself to one of the COUNTLESS fisherman on their boat...for a small fee he may be willing to take you out on your own private tour of the Mediterranean Sea!

  5. Autostrade Vendors, Lebanon

    We pulled off the Autostrade (coastal highway running along the Mediterranean) to buy some drinks from a small vendor on the roadside...very common along the Autostrade; the main highway in Lebanon.

    They have a bit of everything and are dotted all along the road...just pull over, state your wish, and the owner/worker give you full service...no need to stop the engine or even get out of the car, and super cheap!

  6. The Corniche, Raouche, Lebanon

    Raouche, a neighborhood in West Beirut, is most synonymous with its famous Pigeon Rocks--two huge rock formations, which stand like gigantic sentinels; a popular destination for locals and visitors alike. View the Rocks from the famous Corniche, a wide seaside sidewalk, and peruse cliff-side cafés.

  7. Téléférique, Jounieh-to-Harissa, Lebanon

    Harissa, an important Lebanese pilgrimage site to Christians & Muslims alike, is high above Jounieh (located at 650 meters altitude from the coast and 20 km distance from Beirut the capital city). Take an unforgettable nine-minute journey by gondola lift, known as the "Téléférique,” up to Harissa for the BEST views of the Bay of Jounieh and Beirut!

  8. Barbar Bakery, Beirut, Lebanon

    Don’t let the name fool you! With over 200 items on the menu, you can find anything and everything at Barbar: Manaeesh (a signature Lebanese staple—not to be missed!), pizza, hamburgers, sub sandwiches, even doughnuts—all with an unmistakable “Lebanese twist”!

  10. Politics as Usual.

    A police officer & food worker in a heated debate about--what else?--Lebanon's political future. The green painting on the wall is the symbol for the Amal Movement, a militant Shi'a Muslim political party (and notable force in the Lebanese Civil War).
