City of the dead

Group B- Egypt- The City of the Dead - necropolis of Cairo.  There are one million tombs in the cemetery and 500,000 people live among these tombs.  The government had considered moving the people out but with a city of 20,000,000 there is precious little real estate left! This didn't "just" happen, one resident interviewed has lived there all her life and she is over 80 yrs of age! 

This is my version of the photo I found! I used a Pentel Finito x-fine point. I bought it not realizing that it is not waterproof so I used that fact to my advantage this time with the addition of watercolour as well.
