Just a blurry, jumbled shot of the giant green, armored military vehicles which have littered the city the last week. Problem is, you can't take photos of them. Or of any soldier, embassy or remotely militaristic object or place. You get yelled at. Technically, it's against the law to photograph military related places or people in Egypt. But, that's next to impossible. The armored green trucks are creepy. There are three, wire-cage windows on each side through which sinewy, jaunty Egyptian boys (they don't really look like men) eagerly peer through. Almost like animals are the couped back there. In addition to these, there are always the navy blue Nissan pick-up trucks, upon the bed of which the boy soldiers eat, smoke, harass women. On every corner.
