Carved Stone Details

I recently assembled this collage of carved stone details from Beirut's downtown. I like wandering through those streets because there's so much artistry, craftsmanship in these old buildings.

It's only a small sample, representative of the kind of stonework that is almost everywhere in that part of town.

  2. I wonder if they use laser cutters to do that type of work today.
