I have posted before about the mind-boggling beauty of man-machine coexistence on the streets of Cairo. Here is another example of such fantastic equilibrium, this time in Egypt’s second largest city.

This is a picture of a one lane street in a local market area in Alexandria. Tram tracks go down the middle of the street, but before the tram actually passes you wouldn’t even notice them. Street vendors set up their stands on the tracks. When the tram is passing, they casually lift their stuff off the tracks, then replace with such enviable ease.
