Revisiting: Baalbek, Lebanon

Everything at Baalbek is oversize (see previous posting). This is a huge portal famous for its slightly displaced and hanging keystone, which was memorialized in a famous painting by the Scottish orientalist painter David Roberts. While exploring around Baalbek that day, one could hear Hezbollah training with their guns a mile or so away. On the nearby mountains there was snow, the last thing I expected to see in Lebanon.
