So these are more walls, and again you can see the three levels of construction, Roman, Arabic, and Christian. Notice the two trees in the foreground. They are young trees on a boulevard full of mature trees. These two are replacements for a pair of mature locusts which got "topped" of all their branches, and died. I was not sure why, but, to the right from the perspective of this photograph is what must be a terribly expensive apartment built atop part of the walls. I think these trees were obstructing the view of some rich people. Perhaps Europe is losing touch with the goals of their liberal revolutions. Meritocracy becomes oligarchy. What is better, a noble ruling class who got their by means of the sword (or at least their ancestors did so), or a wealthy ruling class who got there by means of capital? Both would probably cut down trees for their view.
Can you run to the store for your mom?
