Libanon, Beirut 1991 -1992
Already 17 years ago we went to visit family in Beirut, Lebanon.
The civil war had just finished leaving many people killed or injured and many buildings destroyed or badly damaged.
I stayed in the quarter called Furn El Cheback. One day I decided to walk all the way to the Place des Martyres (Place des Canons.
During that walk I made many, many pictures. These pictures now tell the story how bad Beirut was damaged. I have composed a video clip using music of the famous Lebanese singer Fayruz and placed it on YouTube
Now the years have passed and Beirut has been completely rebuilt, we have decided to visit Lebanon once more.
We will be visiting old friends and the places that we fell in love with. Places like the Cedar Valley, Byblos (Jbail), Ba'albek, and of course Beirut! Beirut, the city that never surrenders .....
This is my clip
