[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I didnt take many photos in Eritrea, especially in capitol of Asmara where every time i pulled out my camera, it seemed that a plain clothes policeman would jump out and admonish me for some imagined crime of etiqutte.
Eritrea has much Italian architechtral influence, despite a short period of colonialism around the second world war. Much remains. Here, on top of a building is an old Alitalia sign which no longer lights up. It only silouettes with the end of the day.

Hi Twj!

I like this picture very much! I am at the moment in Asmara and I have been trying to find this place to take the same shot but at a different time!!

Arrivederci
