1 2 3 Viva l'Algèrie

Unfortunately due to the overload of work that accompanies exams I have been unable to update the blog regularly. Most of the pictures were taken over a month ago but I'm going to put them up anyway.
The following pictures were taken on the 18th of November, when Algeria qualified for the FIFA World Cup after around 20 years. The location is Place Bellecour in Lyon and the crowd is emphatically celebrating the win, until riot police put an end to the festivities.
