Beirut Scenes (1972)

Beirut, Lebanon. Colour. Lebanese entering and leaving church. People visit a statue on a tower, there is a circular path around the tower and people walk up the path to get to the top. Tourists at pavement restaurant, traffic, pedestrians, general atmosphere. C/Us of sign for Byblos Bank, Mebco Bank and RIF Bank. Pavement cafes. Girls in mini skirts.
