Nice picture - I was in Massawa a few years ago and during the day had the city almost to myself - the searing heat sent everyone sensible inside but I was anxious to take pictures in the daylight. I loved my time in Eritrea, especially in Asmara - great architecture and very hospitable people, despite all they have to contend with.
Thanks! Your comment reflects my experience as well. We were the only ones out in the 'midday sun' in Massawa but Asmara was delightful. The location high on the plateau makes all the difference. Not too hot and no mozzies!
MELBOURNE ART DECO
In 2009 Robin Grow published a book on Melbourne Art Deco, with images largely supplied by David Thompson. The book quickly sold out and he is pleased to say that it has now been re-published by Brolga Press, with updates, errors corrected and a new cover.
Best of all, it is selling for about $25 in the shops and on-line. Art Deco & Modernism Society members can purchase a copy from me for $22, (includes postage within Australia). For overseas orders please email for postage rates. Contact me at robingrow@ozemail.com.au if you are interested, and advise if you would like the book to be dedicated and/or signed.
