city planning Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is a helicopter view of the suburbs of Douala, the major city of Cameroun. You can see the rough main roads and the small paths leading to the small houses in the backwards. I guess they don't have city planners...
I'm sorry there is a little reflexion due to the window, if anyone knows how to remove it...

Thank you for showing this city! I would understand how people go to their homes far from the main street. Livia

What wonderful patterns you have here! I like the way the road cuts diagonally across the photo.

I tried a workshop for you to remove some of the glare.

Hello Oliver,
very nice picture and interesting WS.
In your picture I get an impression of a city, but in the WS, where the colours of the trees are more strong it looks like a big village.
Very nice pattern.

Salut Olivier
Très belle composition! J'ai de bon souvenirs de Douala mais
depuis le sol seulement :-) Ta photo est digne de Yann Arthus
Bertrand! Elle sent bon l'Afrique.
A bientôt
Quentin

Point de vue très intéressant Olivier. Je n'ai pas réussi à complétement éliminet les reflets mais seulement à les atténuer (cf. WS). Comment est la vie à Douala ? Beaucoup d'activités possibles là-bas ?

Hi Olivier,
Very informative shot, especially for those used to European cities. Good point of view.
Cheers!
