Great Syria and surroundings - Middle East Pics Thread 2. Starting with Lebanon

I like this streat because of all the churchtowers and minarets

A monument crippled by bullets and the most interesting mosque in Bayrut

[Heresson]

there are still some ruins after the war...
Still, what I, unfortunatelly, didn't photo enough, are all the nice, modern, tall building, sky-scrapers perhaps not in an american meaning, but still. It's the main difference between Damascus and Bayrut - Bayrut looks like a modern european city, though communication sux, there's not even a real bus station.

not a good pic. The maronite cathedral

the clocktower. This area has just been restored and rebuilt, it is one of the nicest city centres I've been to. Tidy, nice architecture, good colour balance.

[Heresson]

the lebaneese parliament or something is here or somewhere around. Have to check it.

at one of the mosques. I like this pic, somehow.

[Heresson]

It was late and the picture is not clean, but I liked the architecture of this specific building very much, so I post one of the pics of it.

[Heresson]

You could not make pics of the astounding caves ("Jeita Grotto" or whatever), so instead I'm posting a pic of a statue next to it.

When did you took theses pictures?

Some pics are well composed.

I managed to catch the moment the water was going up. It looks nice, imo

I don't remember, when I've visited Lebanon for the first time. Must check it.
Just some?


I wouldn't go there, but I was attached to my friends, and they insisted on going with an Iraqi group. So we came to a wax figures museum.
To my great sadness, there was no Qaddafi. I told them it's a scandal.
