City

  • A cityscape featuring modern skyscrapers, residential buildings, and landscaped areas. Beirut, a city at breaking point Peter Harling, Lelia Mezher · 2 July
  • The image depicts a nighttime scene at a historic location, likely a temple or ancient site, characterized by large stone structures. Towering columns line the pathway, illuminated by soft red and amber lighting, which casts dramatic shadows on the walls. Two imposing statues, possibly representing pharaohs or deities, stand prominently at the end of the corridor. Visitors can be seen walking through the area, taking in the majestic architecture and ambiance of this ancient site. The atmosphere conveys a sense of history and reverence. The Archaeological Site of Luxor Becomes an Amusement Park Sophie Pommier · October 2023
  • The image showcases a panoramic view of a vast construction site in a desert landscape. In the foreground, several high-rise buildings are partially completed, with cranes and construction equipment evident. The surrounding area features empty land and some roadways, characteristic of a developing urban environment. The backdrop includes a clear sky and distant structures, suggesting a mixture of ongoing urbanization and natural desert terrain. The overall scene illustrates the rapid expansion of urban infrastructure in a typically arid region. Egypt: A New Capital Bogged Down by Speculation Jeanne Gorin · September 2023
