The Parking Lot

We pulled into the car wash in Saida. Unfortunately, all the booths were occupied but there was plenty of space to turn in the adjacent parking lot. For this area used to be a multi-storey building. It collapsed during an air raid in 1982. All the occupants were sheltering in the cellar.

Those in neighbouring houses could hear the cries and the sound of exploding butane bottles. But due to the intense bombardment and the shear weight of the fallen masonery, they could only listen. Now it is quiet again, a parking lot
