Urban Photos of Venezuela

[Newbie]

Here are some photos I took in and around Caracas yesterday (I will post more later). I have always wondered what non-Venezuelan people think about Venezuelan cities. Here are my views:

 

Venezuelan metro systems are much cleaner, modern and quieter (the trains, not the people) than the older North American and European subways. The streets outside are much dirtier though. These are photos of a metro station near my house:

These are some photos of the area around Altamira, one of the most important business and residential districts of the city:

Nice pics. I noticed that in one of your first pics, there is a sign indicating "no photography" in the metro/train station, and I remember seeing that in Boston too. Do you have any idea why this is the case?
