Welcome to Tripoli, Libya



Some things about this country may surprise you.  I took this shot 40 meters from the Mediterranean Sea along a huge promenade in Tripoli.  This man was wearing a Pau Gasol Lakers jersey.



The sea stretches out behind the shooter.  Off to the left, big buildings near Tripoli's center.  This sports complex, free to anyone who walks by, has a soccer pitch, a basketball court, and a tennis court.  Plus a nice view of the sea.  One of the guys I played basketball with turned out to be a tugboat operator.  After the game, he invited me onto his brand-new boat for a tour.
