[Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe
Ihla de Mocambique about 3 km off the mainland is a Unesco World Heritage Site and one of the Mozambique's most fascinating destinations. Arab, Indian and Portuguese architectural influences are blended in this place.
For hundreds of years it was a major centre of intercontinental maritime trade. It was occupied by Arab merchants from the tenth century until the end of the fifteenth, and in the sixteenth century due to Vasco da Gama it became a port of call on the route from Europe to the East Indies. In 1507 the Portuguese built a fortress on the island. A later fortification that has survived is the fort of St. Sebastian, which was built between 1558 and 1620 and is inspired by Italian Renaissance military architecture. Mozambique port grew rapidly during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
Unfortunatelly the town as it appears today is very dirty, many of the beautiful houses and palaces are completly ruined.

Hi Maciej,
A lovely atmosphere of time gone by here. Love the warmth of the morning/afternoon light. The scene is nicely composed with the boats and buildings and the people just chilling add to the relaxed atmosphere.
Regards
Wanda

Ha... maybe one of the people here is also in your photo.

Great light as usual, the end of the day is gorgeous in Ilha. I wish one of the red dressed girls was located more into the empty parts of the picture.

Splendid production, Maciej

If word: 'Breathtaking' mean anything - this is to apply them to...

Flemish to the core...The light, a real photographer would kill for..

Unbelievable finishing

God...
They don't do these kind of pictures any more

Pozdrawiam cieplo

pozostałości postkolonialnej architektury - rozpadające się, odchodzące bezpowrotnie w przeszłość - ten widok standardowo jest depresyjny... uciebie - przy wykorzystaniu genialnego światła - stało się inaczej... jest ciepło, jest jakaś doza optymizmu w tej scenie...
