Dry Waterfront

Algiers, Algeria, I upload these 2 ordinary photos because very few foreigners see this city, as tourist visas are difficult to get and the city had a reputation of violence in the 1990's. The traffic is much lighter in this view, but that means cars are going much faster. The french constructed railway tracks between the city center and the harbor, unfortunately resulting in an ugly corridor separating the city from its waterfront.
