Step back into time to the Algiers of yore with a virtual postcard tour from the The Getty Research Institute in The Commons on Flickr. What’s so cool about these postcards is that they are featured in the Getty’s current exhibition, Walls of Algiers: Narratives of the City, but anyone with an internet connection can take the tour on Flickr since it’s in The Commons, maps and all. You can even visit the University that Albert Camus attended!

The struggle itself toward the heights is enough to fill a man’s heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy. – Albert Camus
