Angel of Babylon

Photographer:

Jimmy Dunn

Title:

Angel of Babylon

Description:

This picture was captured when Jimmy went to Old Cairo, sometimes called Coptic Cairo, and specifically Fort Babylon. There, he discovered what many references usually seem to ignore, a vast graveyard. Angels, artfully rendered in fine stone, appeared to be mourning, or sometimes protecting the inhabitants. You can keep track of Jimmy's journey here.
