I didn't get much spare time on my recent trip to Libya but I did manage to get out for an hour just before I had to head for the airport to fly back to UK. I didn't wonder far due to the lack of time but I did manage to take some photographs.
This was a Police station but has been completely gutted and left open for people to wonder about inside. There in nothing to see inside, everything has been stripped out, even all the windows, doors and floor coverings. I hate to imagine what might have gone on inside during the past 42 years.
There is quite a bit of graffiti and some of it quite skillfully done and amusing. This made me chuckle and I wonder if the artist intentionally put the image of Gaddaffi above the drain outlet. It seems quite well placed.
Libyans tend to be quite friendly but overly so so that you are approached if walking about. They tend to let you just get on with what you are doing. However if you have a camera it is not uncommon to be stopped for a quick chat. This guy got his friend to pull up beside just so I could take his photo.
These two guys where just standing about talking and asked me to take their photo. Libyans are quite proud and do this just to be friendly. They never ask for money or expect something in return which is nice and makes stopping and talking to then a good experience. If you get asked for money in Libya you can be fairly sure the person asking is not Libyan.
