What a beautiful color for photos. I never realized how much ‘Blue’ meant to me till now, this sort of unconscious preference. When I was trying to organize my thoughts on what possible ‘blue’ pictures I have, it hit me like an awakening and I could only see ‘Beirut’. Beirut, my favorite city in the world is all about ‘blue’. The Sky and the sea merge wonderfully with day light and make it magical. And here I am sharing a piece of my heart with you in ‘blue’.
Pictures below are ‘untouched’, taken with my iPhone using Hisptamatic photo app.
Inside the cell of St. Charbel hermitage. Leading Lebanese saint.
It’s always hard to leave my city, this picture was taken on my way to the airport.
Fishing, a sport and sometimes meditation from the heart of Beirut.
Lebanon is known for its cuisine, with a touch of ‘blue’ creativity.
A precious memory of my childhood , the ‘Kaak’ seller who happens to be in blue.

Your photos are beautiful, Reem! I especially like the ones of the sea. We visited Beirut in December, and your photos brought that trip to mind.

Beirut is indeed special, I don’t live there at the moment as I’m away in a different country. I live in Qatar and visit Beirut once a year. Unfortunately not this year as I’m shooting a documentary. Hope you get to come and visit.

I never realised that Beirut had so much beauty. You’ve opened my eyes with your amazing blue photos.
Meemzo
Thank you for your comment, unfortunately in the last few days Beirut has been witnessing some conflicts. We kind of are used to it but I hope it ends soon. It is indeed a beautiful city.
