Description
BARRACA. LIBYA. THIS VIEW IS TYPICAL OF THE SETTLED AREAS IN LIBYA WHERE THE ITALIAN HAVE BEEN DEVELOPING THEIR COLONIZATION SCHEME FOR MANY YEARS. THE COTTAGES ARE LAID OUT IN SERIED ROWS ON EITHER SIDE OF ROADS THAT RUN PARALLEL TO EACH OTHER AT A DISTANCE OF, I SHOULD JUDGE, A KILOMETRE. THERE ARE NO FENCES AND IT APPEARS THAT APART FROM A CERTAIN AREA AROUND THE HOUSE WHICH IS CULTIVATED, THE REST OF THE LAND BETWEEN THE COTTAGES IS COMMON FOR GRAZING. (NEGATIVE BY D. PARER).
