beaufort

Looking north along the shutter ridge that deflects the course of the Litani river. The river valley is in the gorge in the foreground and then turns north towards the Jabel Barouk area in the distance. Ahead is the Beaufort ridge with the castle visible on top. Cretaceous limerstones pick out an anticline - folding is apparent on the western sides of the fault segments on the Roum system, indicating weak transpression across these segments. The Miocene paleao-surface has the scattered houses on it, and is folded up to the castle.
