EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Kenya's Lamu Island, specifically Lamu Fort, which has been transformed into a museum. The image showcases a traditional wooden sailing boat, known as a mashua, gracefully framed within an arch of the fort. Bathed in warm sunlight and set against a backdrop of vibrant blue skies, this picturesque scene epitomizes the beauty and charm of Lamu. Lamu Fort stands as an African fortification that holds great historical significance. Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it serves as a testament to Kenya's rich cultural heritage and architectural prowess. Its battlements once served as defense mechanisms but now provide visitors with breathtaking views of the surrounding waters. The sailboat peacefully floating beneath the arch symbolizes both past and present modes of transportation in this region. It represents not only the traditional means by which locals navigate these waters but also highlights how travel and exploration continue to shape Africa's identity. As viewers gaze upon this stunning photograph by Nigel Pavitt from Discover Images by AWL, they are transported to another world where time seems to stand still. The tranquility captured in this image invites us all to embark on our own journey through history while exploring one of Kenya's most treasured destinations - Lamu Island.
