  1. 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.

  2. 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!

  3. Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport; Nov. 2007

    Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport (formerly Beirut International Airport) in Beirut, Lebanon is the only operational commercial airport in the country. It is the hub for Lebanon's national carrier, Middle East Airlines (MEA).

    In its 55+ years in operation, BRHIA has been nearly- destroyed countless times.

  4. 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.

  5. 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”!

  6. 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).

  7. Beirut --> Paris.

    Flying home to Los Angeles from traveling/visiting family in Beirut, Lebanon.

    We left Beirut (for CDG Paris) on a redeye MEA flight...this was the sunrise midair. The engine (foreground) has a red cast from the plane's red night-lights, still visible since the sun had not risen fully.
