Photographer’s Note
"Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika" ("God Bless Africa" in the Xhosa language) is a hymn composed in 1897 by Enoch Sontonga, a teacher at a Methodist mission school in Johannesburg, South Africa. The hymn is the national anthem of Tanzania and Zambia. It was the anthem of ANC since 1925, and part of South Africa's national anthem since 1994. It is also the former anthem of Zimbabwe and Namibia. Actually it's considered as the anthem of all the continent.
Fishermans sing a himn like this before sailing.
The shot was taken in South West Province, the fertile region bordering Nigeria.
To the west of Limbe, a pretty little port, there are a number of beautiful beaches (some of them feature in the film Chocolat). The fine sand is dark brown, created from ancient lava flows from Mount Cameroon.

sarei daccordo per il pano, e anche col resto di Valeria. Mi ricorda il paesaggio della fine del film Goonyes..molto favoloso sul surreale.
grande acutezza e controllo della luce.
saluti, M.

Ciao Albertone!!
Bella questa foschia e questa luce bitonale; sembra un B&W.
Hai tirato fuori un gran bel controluce.
Dopo qualche giorno di astinenza cominciavano a marcarmi le tue foto...
A prestissimo...

Hello Alberto
The silver waters are incredible!
Try to crop the bottom, it will look more impressive to my mind.

Hello Alberto,
beautiful, peaceful scenery and atmosphere... I like the contrast between the dark foreground and slilver colour of the water... Good framing.
Best regards,
Andrzej

Bravo!
ciao!

Bonsoir Alberto,
Je trouve la forme de ces îlots (volcaniques je suppose) très extraordinare surtout avec cette végétation qui pousse dessus, alors qu'on penserait plutôt à un tas de cailloux!
J'aime cette lumière (qu'on peut obtenir aussi en Bretagne) qui mélange le sombre et la lumière dans une atmosphère un peu irréelle.
A bientôt
Diane
