Here photographed, the North gate of Baghdad, the scene of fierce fighting during the US invasion. 19-27 April 2003. Saddam built these faux Babylonian brick gates around Baghdad in attempt to show his lineage back to the ancient kings of Babylon. Closer inspection shows their concrete frames.

I'd gone to Baghdad on my own, in a taxi cab from Jordan. I remember this was taken after a really early start - the earliest my driver could come, because there was a curfew. There had been shooting and explosions all night. At the arch it was very, very quiet. There was a lot of unexploded stuff around, and at the end of that avenue of trees was an Iraqi tank that had been bombed by the Americans. On the left-hand side there was a ruined troop carrier, and on the right a mobile rocket-launching system.
