"Olden Times"
Lebanon
Photographer: Jillian Dickens

In this part of the world there are ancient ruin sites all over the place, but Baalbek is the biggest and  most impressive. I visited last June when it was so scortching hot we had to run from shady area to  shady area. I allowed myself only a second or two to stop and take this picture for fear of melting  into the stones.
