Popular Post XVarior Posted December 21, 2014 Popular Post Share #1 Posted December 21, 2014 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) In small towns and villages, a morning visit or "Sobhiyeh" as we call it locally, is a Lebanese tradition consisting of making an improvised unannounced visit for a turkish coffee. Neighbours of the same street or alley would pop at each other's home without previous notification. Those visits would start as early as 7am and end around 10 am. Once their Sobhiyeh is finished, women go back home and start preparing lunch for their families. Welcome, dear visitor!

pauledell Posted December 21, 2014 Share #2 Posted December 21, 2014 XV, A fine picture of a Lebanese tradition. When I was a youngster in a small rural town in the mid-west USA (Ohio), that was a way of life. Everyone managed to stop by to check up on each other. Of course, there was never a locked door. It's not that way now, regrettably. Paul Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iduna Posted January 13, 2015 Share #16 Posted January 13, 2015 XV, thanks, it is a great picture showing much of a tradition. Tradition has always a strong historical backround and conveys a lot about the present situation. Well done! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
erl Posted January 13, 2015 Share #17 Posted January 13, 2015 To start with, there is fabulous luminosity in this image. I love it. Then there are so many fascinating elements that hint at interesting stories. The main cat exiting where the visitor is, the shrine on the RH side, even the car seems to have an expression. Of course, the main character screams 'I have a story'. This is a truly immersive image. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
