This photo was taken by Antonia Strachey, an undergraduate student in the Department of Economic History. The photo was taken in Goma, Democratic Republic of Congo.

'This city had suffered the dual wrath of the widespread anarchy in Congo and a volcanic eruption. I think this photo shows the sense of desolation and chaos.'

The next contribution this month is Blue eye|.
