Tahrir Square the day after Mubarak



Walking to Tahrir square the day after the resignation of Hosni Mubarak, the energy was alive, invigorating, only getting more visceral as we moved deeper into the square...








Children are lifted onto tanks to pose for photographs




Many people carry brooms and dustpans, volunteering to clean the streets




There is a crowd silently taking pictures of the burnt NDP headquarters


Ibrahim and Mahmoud follow us for a time, posing for the camera


Mahmoud



The crowd starts to thicken




Volunteers make a human chain to protect the freshly painted curbs






Little children sit atop their father's shoulders carrying baby flags





The youth dance toward the crowd




"Sorry for the disturbance, we build Egypt"




The water bearer




Osama and the creepy short middle-aged man


Ibrahim



I never got her name
