Friday Photo Essay: Lebanon Flowers

In spring and summer Lebanon flowers. The countryside bursts into bloom.

There are flowers in the ruins, flowers on the razorwire, flowers in the souks…

And they’re just plain old-fashioned gorgeous.

To be honest, these photos look a bit tired now I’ve seen what I can do with my lovely new lenses. I’m finally upgrading from the kit lens on my camera, and I’ve been photography shopping! I’ll tell you more next week.

I buy my camera stuff at DigitalRev, a store in Hong Kong that offers the best value I’ve found on the interwebz, and free delivery too. If you’re camera shopping at the moment, check them out: they’re such excellent value I just signed up as an affiliate.
