Alexandria, Egypt

[Alfred Forns]

A view of the condos in Alexandria The area looks like Miami Beach but buildings are not in good shape.

I was told there is not much use in painting since the high winds brought by winter storms will sandblast the outer walls !! Also observed lots of boarded glass windows that had been damaged by storms.

Not sure but I think the image was made on Ilford XP5 Did shoot some of that during the trip.

Comments welcome and much appreciated

Neat perspective Alfred. Was this shot from inside a tour bus? I like the way the silhouettes frame the image!

[Alfred Forns]

Yes Denise I was on the other side and probably is a better view !!!

Excellent eye, Alfred. My one thought is that a bit of CCW rotation to even out the water line on the horizon might make it even stronger.

[Alfred Forns]

Thanks Jules Did not even noticed the horizon !!! :)

Isn't it hysterical how we don't see things in our own images? It's just like trying to proofread your own writing...you'll miss something every time!

[Ákos Lumnitzer]
