Rainbow over Lebanon

Posted by Najib

A rainbow after the storm I spotted last week, hoping this is what we’ll get after our politicians stop bickering each others at our expense.

Pardon me, ladies. Have you seen my poles? A bunny sloper “accidentally” skis into a photo shoot featuring Miss World Top Model 2010 Luna Ramos of Venezuela (left) and Miss Venezuela 2007 Adriana Pena at the Lebanese ski resort of Kfardebian. [Day in pictures]

Venezuela Top Model 2010 and Miss Venezuela 2007 Adriana Pena were performing a photo shoot at Faraya Mzar yesterday. Click here for more pictures.



Ski Time!

Posted by Mark

A good friend of mine Elie Keyrouz sent me some pictures he took last week skiing at the Cedars. The one above is my favorite and I thought I would post it here and share it with everyone. I hope the snow will still be there once I come down to Lebanon in 2 weeks time since I haven’t skied for 10 years now! He took the picture with an iPhone 4.



If war ever comes again

Posted by Najib

I took this picture during my trip to Qanat Bekish. It reminded me of the famous Ain el Remmaneh bus that ignited the Lebanese civil war, however this time the building was damaged while the bus was fine.

You can see the owner of the famous Ain el Remmaneh bus in the picture here. [Source]



My First Digital SLR Camera

Posted by Najib

I’ve been wanting to buy an SLR camera for some time, and i am finally getting my first “professional” camera, the Nikon 10.2-Megapixel Digital SLR Camera.

I first checked it out on Bestbuy and Amazon and the prices were pretty close (450$ for Amazon and 500$ for bestbuy).

I checked out few stores in Lebanon, and the price was double if not more. I even called a friend who works at Khoury Home and he told me SLRs are double the price here.

Luckily i have a friend flying to the states and coming back in a week time, so i will have it delivered to me on July 3rd.

I am kind of excited about this, so let’s hope my friend is here on time.

Lebanon: On earth as it is in heaven

Posted by Najib

This stunning picture is one of many photographer Clement Tannouri took of Lebanon in his album entitled “Liban: Sur la terre comme au ciel”. There are other images including regions such as Ehden, Qaraoun, Mount Lebanon, Sannine, Bkaakafra, Annoubine, Beirut and Byblos that i will upload later on.

Why i uploaded this picture in specific is that my old house appears on it, the small one on the extreme left with the green windows. I was practically living on the beach back then, too bad they buried the sea in front of it. [High resolution]
