Lebanon | A Maical City in the Middle East


I just felt like blogging some info about a country I'm currently learning about in my History of the Middle East Class.

Lebanon is a small and beautiful country on the Eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea. It is located at the meeting point of three continents and, as such, has been the crossroads of many civilizations whose traces may still be seen today. Its coastline is about 225 km (150 miles) in length and is, on average, 45 km (30 miles) wide. The total area of the country amounts to 10,452 square km (4,500 square miles). Along the coast are the five famous cities of Beirut, Byblos, Sidon, Tripoli, and Tyre (see interactive map under Tourism). It is bordered in the north and east by Syria and, in the south, by Israel.
Lebanon's beauty is illuminated by its geography -- its narrow coastal plane and two parallel north/south mountains (the mountains of Lebanon and anti-Lebanon). The fertile Bekaa valley, with its Litani and Orontes Rivers, separates these mountains and nourishes the terrain. Residing majestically over the valley, Qournet Assaouda in the north of Mount Lebanon (altitude 3,083 meters or 10,112 feet) and Jabal al-Sheikh in the south of the anti-Lebanon range (altitude 2,814 meters or 9,230 feet) remain the highest peaks in the country.
This unparalleled natural splendor is enhanced by Lebanon's moderate, Mediterranean climate. Lebanon enjoys about 300 days per year of sunshine. The winter is mild on the coast and snowy in the mountains, while the summer is hot on the coast and mild on the mountains. It is possible during the spring months to ski in the mountains and swim on the coast in the same day.

Change in Traveler's Trade Pictures

So I decided to change the whole theme of my website. My memories of Europe are getting very foggy. I changed all my pictures to look like I remember them now. + I get bored in my Computer Photoshop class. I enjoy 'tweeking' out my pictures. Check them out here.

Before this month is out, Traveler's Trade will look almost completely like my 'tweek travel pictre page'.



Tell me what you think.
Give me some tips and advice.

Thanks

The originals are @ www.travelerstrade.com

I'm thinking about making my site more focused on tweeked travel pictures. Just so it could be different than most other travel picture sites.

what do you think?
