EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Lamu town, a hidden gem situated 150 miles north-northeast of Mombasa in Kenya. The image showcases one of the narrow shopping streets that wind through this historic town, which dates back to the 15th century AD. Lamu's significance lies not only in its age but also in its unique offering - it boasts the only certain source of sweet groundwater in the entire region. This has made it an important destination for locals and visitors alike. In this bustling alleyway, a Muslim woman dressed elegantly in traditional attire walks gracefully amidst storied buildings made from coral rag. These architectural wonders reflect Swahili culture and are a testament to Lamu's rich heritage. The vibrant energy emanating from this photograph is palpable as you immerse yourself into the heart of African culture. The black attire worn by the woman adds depth to her presence, symbolizing both modesty and religious devotion. As you explore these enchanting backstreets, you can't help but be captivated by Lamu's Islamic influence and indigenous traditions. It is no wonder that this UNESCO World Heritage site continues to draw travelers seeking an authentic experience steeped in history and cultural diversity. Nigel Pavitt skillfully captures the allure of Lamu with his lens, inviting us on a visual journey through time and space. This print serves as a reminder of Africa's beauty and resilience while celebrating its people and their enduring customs.
