Photographer’s Note

Just two short years following the end of the Iran-Iraq conflict, along the road into Basra there was a heavy military presence. I arrived there in the blistering heat of summer. It didn't occur to me that the country would be at war again in a couple of months time and that it would be a conflict lasting, on and off, for the best part of 20 years. At that time Basra looked fragile, rebuilding. I wonder what it looks like now.

Maybe not the best photo, shot on print film during the middle of the day, but perhaps of historical interest.
