It's been a while ,I know
I got really busy with a lot of things going on with work ,study ,and ....work..
Although I'm late ,but happy Ramadan every body ,and Happy Eid..I wish you all enjoyed the holy season with your loved ones..
Those who follow my Blog ,know about my hobby of hiking ,and doing little adventures and expeditions every now and then..
Few months ago ,I visited Tobruk ,the home twon of my father..Visited the area only 4 times in my entire life ,but every time I find out a new thing..
Tobruk has an ancient ,rich history..It has a natural Sea Port that made it an important trading center through out history ,and it's position near the Egyptian borders gives its future many potentials.
Tbruk is also known for its role in World War II ,where it was the center of the attention of the fighting forces ,specially the German and the British .
I was lucky enough to visit Wadi El-Sahl ,or the Flat Valley ,which is located in the western entrance of the city..
The sides of the Valley has a lot to say about this war ,Trenches ,Tunnels ,Strong points .
I climbed down and walked through deep darkness ,with a small falsh light and my cell phone camera.
Some of the tunnels were flooded ,in others i sank ankle deep in thick layers of mud
But I made it through ,and took some amazing pictures..
No more to be said..
If you like to see more pictures ,you can vist THIS SITE ,which contains excellent pictures collected by General Suleiman Obeidi
Enjoy

حلو المشوار ولو انك يبدو اخصرت الطريق ومشيت من الطريق الفوقية
عجبني توثيقك بالصور
Lovely pics BC :) quite a scary tunnel i tell you! What i find it irritating is how we don't care about preserving our own history. Those carvings on the walls inside the tunnels with memos and dates shouldn't be just left like that for them to age with those stones!!!
Glad you enjoyed your time! You guys get to do so much more than us; the extent of our trips to Libya are ones through the screens of our computers!
All Ways A Stranger\: المنظر من فوق جميل جدا و أكثر شمولية.. , مداخل الأنفاق المبينة موجودة فقط في أعلى جوانب الوادي...شكرا لك و أنا سعيد لأن الصور أعجبتك...تحياتي
---------------------------------Romana: It is scary.. To tell the truth I was concerned about snakes or scorpions. The tunnels are abonded for decades with rare visitors like my self...
It;s really irritating that most of us don't know what great events our history is rich with.. It's a shame that our government doesn't care about preserving our rich history and letting Libyans know about it.. It's as if they don't want us to know..
Thank you
