Photographer's Note

Downtown Mindelo, São Vicente Island, Cape Verde. Here you see:
- the first, lower, blue building at left it’s the Consulat de France;
- the next it’s the Alliance Française;
- the saffron-yellow, behind the Alliance, on top left corner, it’s the public library (Biblioteca Municipal);
- the pink building it’s the Centro Cultural do Mindelo (a.k.a. Alfândega Velha);
- the blue building in far background, the newest in this shot, it’s the Mindel Hotel, perhaps the tallest building in town (with half dozen floors it is a skyscraper by Mindelo standards);
- the trees in background are in the area of the Praça Nova;
- the BCA, at right, it’s a major private bank in Cape Verde.
The French military vehicle in this picture is there because this was during the Steadfast Jaguar NATO exercises.
This street is Rua Santo António; after the Alliance building it’s Avenida 5 de Julho.
