A universe inside a Library | Al-Saeh



    For any passionate reader, a large library is one of the most peaceful places to be in. Wandering among the shelves, touching the skin of each book, blowing off the dust from upon the covers, ignoring the motion of the universe and the life they'e engaged to, outside the library.
     You feel overwhelmed by the smell of the old brown papers, and the amount of knowledge that's surrounding you. 

The first time I visited the library i thought to myself  "This is what I was searching for, where has it been for so long!?".

     The biggest library dwells in the heart of the city Tripoli of Lebanon, in one of the old streets in there.

The main door of the library
Now you see!

The lost treasure is finally found, no map was needed but a friend who knew the owner long time ago, and he suggested to pay him a visit...


Once you enter, all you see is books all over the place, literally everywhere. You barely have a bare ground to walk upon, and a space filled with air just to breathe.

And actually I was surprised when I saw the Bathroom...

Phobia - Dendrophobia

Definition

How about split this word in two parts?
Dendro = tree (Greek)
Phobia  = Fear (Greek)


       It's simply the fear of trees and also related to other types of phobia such as fear of forest, fear of wooden subjects, and fear of dark wooded areas or forests at night, known respectively as Hylophobia, Xylophobia and Nyctohylophobia.

    Dendrophobia is a specific type of phobia. since there exist three types, either Social phobia (fear of public speaking, meeting new people, or other social situations), or Agoraphobia (fear of being outside), or specific phobias (fear of particular items or situations).
Nyctohylophobia, fear of  forest at night



Huge wooded tree

Causes? 

   In fact, there's no specific known reason for phobias, they are believed to be a combination of hereditary characteristics and traumatic events. For dendrophobia to be triggered there must be something that happened with the person in his early age (i.e watching a horror movie where someone is attacked in a forest, being attacked in a forest or under a huge tree, being badly wounded by a woody object..etc)
