Wadih El Safi Sings Lebanon Paints from M. Faroukh

Photo From National Geographic Article from National Geographic: Macaws are beautiful, brilliantly colored members of the parrot family. Many macaws have vibrant plumage. The coloring is suited to life in Central and South American rain forests, with their green canopies and colorful fruits and flowers. The birds boast large, powerful beaks that easily crack nuts and seeds, while their dry, scaly tongues have a bone inside them that makes them an effective tool for tapping into fruits. Macaws also have gripping toes that they use to latch onto branches and to grab, hold, and examine items. The birds sport graceful tails that are typically very long. Macaws are intelligent, social birds that often gather in flocks of 10 to 30 individuals. Their loud calls, squawks, and screams echo through the forest canopy. Macaws vocalize to communicate within the flock, mark territory, and identify one another. Some species can even mimic human speech. Flocks sleep in the trees at night, and in the m...

Melbourne Coast, Australia Sassine El Nabbout Photography Look far… Even oceans in their deepest points, stay on a land… as everyone of men stay in the heart of a woman… So don’t think you are the biggest or the most powerful…. Blow… Blow the wind to comb the grass on her surface… Make her coast a face of eternal beauty… Surround her by clouds… kiss her with every rain drop… Say to her I love you… every moment… and never stop...

While walking on the streets of Paris, you may encounter a special gallery near Saint Sulpice Church... a long white table all over the street length... composed of so small, raised and smooth blank or filled surfaces... giving the ability to everyone to see, but surely to draw anything passing in his mind... Isn't something good?!... In Paris you may see everything... and this is just one of the beautiful things there... just express your feelings... write a small letter of love to someone... say what you want... no one will blame you... They offer you kindly all the materials to draw what you want... and a pen to write on an honor book... and all this will be presented one day in a governmental place... I couldn't hide my childish love to draw... i paint all what i thought about at this moment... that was it... by sassine100 To see the entire album click on this link: by sassine100

I Love You Humanity... I Love You Brothership... I Love You Love...

by sassinabbout Several thousand years ago, when much of Mount Lebanon was covered by cedar trees, the groves of Jaj were one of the first forests to be chopped down. The profitable cedar wood was exported to Egypt and later to Jerusalem. Splendid survivors of this forest are still scattered on the peaks above the town of Jaj. They are easy to spot. Rounded in shape and very dark green in color, the trees are not readily confused with the much smaller pines at lower elevations. For the best view go to the top of the town and look up. Trails exist up to these cedars, which grow out of what looks like bare rock in-groups of two or three.

So small, that's true... but Lebanon is still the most beautiful... and if you don't believe ask your mirror...

Who said they forgot?! Who said they don’t want to return?! Who said they don’t miss Lebanon every second?! Do you think there is something that can stop them? You doubt?! Open Asda’ Tv and see what they do beside working hard, collecting money and sending them to their parents in Lebanon! While seeing them I remember every word of our national hymn… I don’t know so much about the cedar’s club in Canada, but what is special are the juniors, learning everything beautiful about their country, while not looking about their religion and political parties… they just dance, hand by hand, just as one… just because they are one lebanese… Look in their eyes, all what you can see are the reflections of our white beautiful snow, our martyr’s blood, and our eternal cedar… Wherever we are, we are the same… we love life, and life loves us… No one can put us under the ground… why? because we will resucitate again in seconds… A wish that the eyes like Asda’a Tv will be wherever there are Lebanese in t...

Poor families afraid to look outside Seeking only for a place to hide Hear a bomb here, another there Causing this war was just not fair Blood of innocent people flowing on the streets Blood of others underneath our feet Over stupid political immature crap Like who should be noticed more on the map Innocent lives being taken away Trying to find an explanation was difficult to say Islamic, Christian, Buddhist or Jew Doesn't mean you see everyone's point of view Religion is sacramental not a reason for war Not a reason to look up to the rich and down on the poor It's sad to see such a beautiful country lose its respect When people hear "Lebanon" they hear a country that's been wrecked We used to be noticed for our large mountains and beautiful trees Now we're only known for flying over seas Far from home, settling somewhere new Working day night to make enough to buy a pair of shoes Depressing as it may seem this story is true As much as you hear, you'll...
