Baysour Busted
Yup, it is!!
My first post I had on this blog was about Baysour, the place with great waterfalls, lakes, ponds… the photos of which we all got in our emails (and still do) & couldn’t really find it.
This year I was determined to find it. My info said that there are four Baysours in Lebanon. The main being the one next to Aley, where we did go last year & where my search was going to start.
Around Baysour there are 4 rivers that join each other, so I knew it was going to be a hard search. Right before I meet with a friend & decide how/when to go for the “baysour hunt”, I did a google search “Baysour is it true / hoax” (or something in this term) & I found out a blog that has the definite answer! It was a hoax, a big one!
So There is no beautiful waterfalls, lakes & ponds in Baysour – Lebanon, don’t bother & look for it! The max you will see is already on this blog. If you want to see those, go to the nearest Croatian embassy & apply for a visa (if you need it) cause those pics are actually in Plitvice Lakes National Park – Croatia
If you came across this blog looking for the location/more photos (cause a lot of people do), I’m sorry, no Baysour here…
Less than a week ago I got a BIG, I mean really BIG, upgrade to the gear I was using to shoot.
So far, all the photos that were posted on this site were taken with a 3Mp, yes just 3, camera! the mighty Minolta Z1.
Last Saturday I got my first Digital SLR (Single Lens Reflex) camera! The amazing Canon 500D (T1i / Kiss X3 Digital).
Here is the pic of old meets new, shot by Nokia E72, which by the way, has a 5MP sensor.

I used to look at the Z1 as a big (in size) camera, but after handling the 500D for a few day, it now does look small, very small!!
I’ll post some pics shot with the new camera soon!
