A shot from Beirut



I could not resist to upload this picture here. It's made in Beirut, Lebanon, yesterday. This image is priceless. Although there is some kind of civil war going on, these people look feeling confident.

They got used to living like this since they are born, as the lady in the picture bit young! The bombs goes off on one side of the city and they still have traffic in the city and still go to night clubs:)That’s why Lebanese people buys the most expensive clothes, drives expensive cars and has don’t care attitude, although they don't have any money in their bank account, as they do not know if they will be alive tomorrow.

Hans, I was in Beirut in 2003 and remember it looking just like this photo. It was a beautiful city and I must say that I really enjoyed being there. I hope they will each find some peace in their time.
