Description
A Baghdad street in the Green Zone, seen through a windscreen. The Green Zone is a heavily guarded area in central Baghdad and its borders are marked by razor wire, chain link fences and reinforced and blast proof concrete slabs, as well as many check points. A number of Iraqi government officials, as well as civilians work and live within the Green Zone. Note the lights or flags in the shape of a love heart and smiles hanging over the street.
