Algiers Harbor, Algiers, Algeria, 1972

"'Algiers, the white,' Algerians call their capital, here awakening under a pale winter sun. The city's arcaded quay was built by the French, whose 132-year rule of this North African land ended in 1962. Beyond Algiers, on opposite sides of a rugged mountain range, lie fertile coastal plains and the vast oil-rich desert."

阿尔及尔海港，阿尔及尔，阿尔及利亚，1972

“阿尔及尔，白都，”阿尔及利亚人这样称呼他们的首都，它正在苍白的冬日下醒来。这座城市的拱廊码头是由法国人建造的，法国曾统治这个北非国家132年之久，直到1962年为止。在阿尔及尔的另一边，崎岖山峦的另一面，是肥沃的沿海平原和石油丰富的巨大沙漠。
