EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Lamu Island, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Kenya. The view overlooks the picturesque makuti thatched roofs, characteristic of Afro-Arab and Swahili architecture, which dot the island's landscape. Beyond these traditional structures lies an estuary that divides Lamu Island from uninhabited Manda Island. The estuary serves as a natural boundary between these two islands, with Manda Island lacking a permanent source of sweet groundwater. It is fascinating to see how this geographical feature has influenced the development and way of life on both islands. In the foreground, we can spot mashuas - small wooden sailing boats commonly found along the East African Coast. These vessels are colloquially known to locals and visitors alike for their unique design and cultural significance. They serve as a reminder of Lamu's rich maritime heritage and its close ties to Islamic culture. As our eyes wander across this image, we are transported into a world where time seems to stand still. The coral buildings with palm-thatched roofs blend seamlessly with nature's beauty, creating an enchanting atmosphere that is truly mesmerizing. This print by NP encapsulates not only the breathtaking scenery but also offers us glimpses into daily life on Lamu Island – a place where tradition meets tranquility amidst stunning coastal vistas.
