EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the beauty and simplicity of a traditional Ngalawa, a small wooden boat found along the East coast of Kenya. The image transports us to the shores of Africa, where this vessel gracefully sails across the crystal-clear waters of the Indian Ocean. Its vibrant sail catches the wind, propelling it forward as it embarks on an adventure through this enchanting region. The photograph captures not only the essence of travel but also highlights Kenya's rich maritime heritage. The Ngalawa represents a longstanding tradition in East Africa, serving as a vital means of transportation for coastal communities. It symbolizes resilience and resourcefulness, embodying their connection with both land and sea. As we gaze at this stunning image, we can almost feel the warm ocean breeze against our skin and hear the gentle lapping of waves against its hull. It beckons us to explore these idyllic travel destinations within sub-Saharan Africa that are often overlooked. Renowned photographer Paul Joynson Hicks has masterfully captured this moment in time, allowing us to immerse ourselves in Kenya's natural wonders through his lens. His artistic eye beautifully portrays not just a boat but also an entire culture steeped in history and tradition. This awe-inspiring photograph from Discover Images by AWL serves as a reminder that there is so much more to discover beyond our own horizons – inviting us to embark on our own personal voyage into uncharted territories.
