The Harbor & Harbor Towers
At the base of the historic quarter is the harbor of Byblos. This harbor was probably used for fishing and not for trade by the Phoenicians. The bottom of the current harbor is not deep enough to be able to receive the large ships used for the Phoenicians’ active maritime trade. Archaeologists are still searching for the location of the ancient Phoenician harbor.
The Crusaders built defensive towers on either side of the mouth of the port, and a chain could be raised between the two towers to prevent boats from entering. The northern tower was restored during the Mamluke and Ottoman eras and is still in fairly good condition.
Climb to the top of the tower and look down into the water to see the remains of the ancient quays. You can take a boat ride in the harbor during spring summer, and fall.Around 3000 BC, Byblos Port was the most important timber shipping center in the eastern Mediterranean. It was used by the Phoenicians to ship Cedars of Lebanon and other wood to the Pharaohs of Ancient Egypt to be used in tomb construction and shipbuilding. The most picturesque part of town, the tranquil harbor of Jbeil (Byblos) is nowadays mainly a fishing port. These lazy wooden boats rest by the calm quays that were once the ancient world's most vibrant entrepôt, where not only valuable merchandise was exchanged, but also knowledge and ideas. It is from this harbor that a Phoenician invention, the linear alphabet, was exported to the rest of the world. The significance of the port rose and fell in history depending on prevailing powers.
In mediaeval times, when Byblos became one of the bases for Crusaders, the town known to them as Gibelet regained importance, which led to the construction of a protective wall that wrapped around the town and its port. Two fortified towers flanked at the entrance of the port and a heavy iron chain prevented unwanted ships from entering the harbor. Only the northern tower has survived. Nowadays, local families and visitors flood the charming area around the port for a stroll and a drink or a meal at one of many popular open-air cafés and seafood restaurants, a nice way to end a day trip to Byblos.

Active Assignment Weekly:
So, your assignment this week is to take a picture of pants. Jeans, slacks, cargo's, corduroy, camo, or underpants...I don't care, just take a picture of pants. As long as the pants are the focus, your picture will work.
Restriction: Keep away from whole body shots, and really make the pants the focus.
Dare: Take a picture of someone else's pants? I can't really think of anything else
WIT: Spotted these in a shop window while walking through Le Marais neighborhood in Paris. F/3.5, 1/20 sec, ISO 200. CS4 adjustments with curves for contrast, selected the red color of the pants and window sign, inversed the selection, black and white conversion, more curves for the black and white, sharpened, resized.
We went to West Virginia to see Sofi compete in the Miss Teen International Pageant. While we weren't happy with how she placed, it seemed to us that there wasn't necessarily much valuation in diversity based on the results we saw. Either way Sofi did great.

Edited Hubble Space Telescope image of NGC 3256, classified as active and peculiar. Color/processing variant.
Original caption: This image, taken with the Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) and the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS), both installed on the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, shows the peculiar galaxy NGC 3256. The galaxy is about 100 million light-years from Earth and is the result of a past galactic merger, which created its distorted appearance. As such, NGC 3256 provides an ideal target to investigate starbursts that have been triggered by galaxy mergers. Another image of NGC 3256 was already released in 2008, as part of a collection of interacting galaxies, created for Hubble’s 18th birthday.

Active Assignment Weekly: Zone System B&W
The last photo I submitted was too flat, so I'm submitting this one. Thank you so much, Richard, for this assignment. I learned so much! I worked a lot on this photo I took in the park earlier today. The initial histogram was kind of flat. I was going to take multiple exposures, but I didn't have my tripod. So I created multiple exposures in CS4 and did some blending. Then I did some selective touch up.
The final histogram is below.
