Rubik, Albania

Albania's new roads are quite simply astonishing. What was once several days of journeying is now accomplished in hours. Here's a little spur near Rubik, by the old factory on the opposite bank, west of the village. Ready for more construction from the looks of it.

This photo is from the set "Albania — Jane's photos", all of which are from the Aid Convoy preliminary trip to Bathore / Kamza, near Tirana, Albania, where we resurrected our project there.

This set – readily identified by the lack of a black border around each photo – shows photos not taken by me, but by my colleague Jane. I don't normally upload other people's photos but these are here to complete the story when seen in conjunction with mine (with black borders), in the "Albania 2010" set.
