I have been taking pictures hobby-wise and sometimes for work for over 20 years. Yes, my age is showing, lol. ( started as a young teen) 

I've been fortunate enough to have traveled a lot before I got married, hence the images from different countries. 

 

Some images have been enhanced via shading/hue via photoshop . I love to play with light and shadows. 

 

I haven't taken any pictures lately, but this category reminded me of how much I used to love it. I'll take it up again. 

 

Beirut, Lebanon

Bologna, Italy (This is the last photo I took with my late grandmother in it.)

I hope you enjoyed them.

Thanks for sharing! I loved Venice on my two trips there! It's always nice to see everyones perspective on the cities that they visit. Share more and I'll keep looking!

[Silentqueen]

Thanks, unfortunately I don't have more photos of Italy I can share ( too personal) but I will try my best with others here in Lebanon.

I'd love that! 

 

What was the story with the building in the second photo? What happened to it?

[Silentqueen]

Oh, they tore it down, now it's a very expensive parking lot. But it looked that ugly for many weeks.

@Trapezeo

Luckily I live about 10 minutes away. I'm going there - that area- on Friday again to buy stuff, I'll take a photo of it for you to show you how it looks like now.

These are some awesome pictures, makes me want to travel but poor

[Silentqueen]

Thanks @Cannabis

 

I don't travel anymore ( I wasn't rich either. I traveled for work.)

So now I'm just trying to take pictures of things that catch my eye, that give me the ' this would be a nice poster or postcard' vibe. Mostly landscapes, and around the city.

 

Or if I see something weird, out of place, or downright ugly. I take that as a personal challenge.

Sorry, I forgot to take my phone with me when I went to that area last week, but tonight I didn't forget.

 

This is what is in place of the torn down building now. 

 

[Trapezeo]

@Silentqueen that sure is a drastic difference compared to what it used to be! Thanks for sharing the updated picture

[Silentqueen]

You're welcome. Sorry about the delay, lol, but better later than never. 

Yes, it does look very different now.
