Pictures taken at Cave Ksara and St.Rita’s Capella in Zahle.

Thanks Rachid

No offense to the Daily Star, but I counted at least 4 images out of the 19 related to non-Lebanese, with 3 of them describing the same event. Not that I mind but I am sure there were more Lebanon-related events worthy mentioning in a “Lebanon Pictures of 2011″ album.

Also, it wouldn’t harm if they added more joyful pictures as Lebanon had a relatively calm and bomb-free assassination-free year for a change.

Check the rest of the pictures [Here].

This small church is close to Saydit el Nourieh monastery and the view from it is just breath taking !

I am surprised they didn’t come up with a venue for weddings next to it yet.

This photo as well as many others are part of the competition held by the Environmental fund for Lebanon. One of the most impressive pictures is the one below taken by David Habchy and entitled “Nature Clash”. It portrays the nature clash at the blue line: the border line between Lebanon (right side) and the Occupied Land (left side) (Landscape format). Same land but with different use of its resources.

Pictures taken yesterday.

Thank you Reine!

I LOVE old photos so when I read about the The Fouad Debbas Collection on +961 I quickly clicked the link to check out all the pictures. There are 5,773 old photos of Lebanon in that collection! It’s crazy, I don’t know how I am going to be able to see them all, I love it! You can also check out the collection by clicking [Here]

“Liban, un carrefour” is the name of the article that the Belgian Newspaper Missi chose for Lebanon. The article dates back from 1966 and was retrieved by Maroun Salhani from NowLebanon.

Nahr el Kalb is shown in the picture above and there are four more pictures that you can see [Here].

PS: Carrefour is the french word for meeting point or crossroad.

I just found an amazing collection of Lebanese war photos taken by Roger Moukarzel back in the 80′s. My favorite from the bunch has to be the one above. If you want to check them out click [Here]. It’s a flash site so I don’t have a direct link, just go to Portfolio > Roger Moukarzel > Chaos
