mohammed said with the hat he got at petra the week before.
there are lebanese soldiers and outposts everywhere. in that way, lebanon feels incredibly safe. actually, more safe than i’ve felt in many u.s. cities.
sunset over the mediterranean at the beach in tyre. legendary.
remnants of the roman empire.
there are droves ferrel cats and dogs all over lebanon. i’m still trying to figure out where they came from.

Very nice work in a photo journalistic style. You have a good eye for juxtaposition. The colors and saturation in the sunset photos on the water are very well handled.

Wow…I am speechless. Waiting for your words to explain these images.
Beautiful first day
I watched and my heart was sad to see that from my parents days to now not much has changed. There was struggle then and there is struggle now. the pictures tell a beautiful story about a gorgeous land, loving people, and a desire to be better than things are now. You captured it so well!
