Osama wrote about the snow in Athenes when he heared the news about the unbelievable amount of snow in Jabal Eli Akhder (Green Mountain- Libya) which all the libyan sites are crowded with pictures taken by amature photographers covering that welcomed event, such as the good pic-coverage one by Rafi Al-Sanosi from jabal on jeel-libya the on-line journal , here is the link http://www.jeel-libya.com/show_article.php?id=3940§ion=7
also Ashraf Shelmani from Benghazi went to Jabal and took pictures, he is a good photographer, lots of thanks to him for I enjoyed his interesting coverage as if I was there.

Osama my cousin who is living in Greece , is nostalgic about people and place in Benghazi and Libya as a whole home told me :
"in 22nd of this month we had so much snow in our house that we couldn’t even go to work. This thing happens once every 4-5 years.
So, I took some pictures and I’m sending them to you, maybe they can be usefull in one of your articles-stories."
You’ll notice three pictures of the kids’s bicycles, the pictures where taken in a period of 3 hours
So Osamakis - as I call him in a way to link the two cities he belongs to,
He is out there in Athenes celebrating the heavy snows with logs in fire place and Gasteel- Chestnuts with Rena, daughters and thier mother while Mariam is likely to be at work.
Those are pictures of his lovely daughters Sania and Basma's bicycles totally covered by snow
We are not just deserts
and bare lands
We are variety
Libya needs to be known form inside, to live in for its beauty to bee seen .
Osamakis knew all this, he who used to go to Ras Al-hilal,the Shalal,Shahat -Grecian ruins

and also the others who visited Waw Al-Namos that strange lake in the desert, or Lebda the great Romanian ruins - if it is a justification to call a whole beautiful old city a ruin!- and much more of Islamic old cities and ornamented Masajid.
Let alone its Nas-people who are known for their hospitality and good deeds
Let the snow cover the place, then let it thaw for us to wait for a good spring which means Zradi - picnics - which means Shmari -wild libyan berries
