EDITORS COMMENTS
The picturesque waterfront of the old historic town of Faza on Pate Island, Kenya, is a sight to behold. This print captures the essence of African charm and showcases the unique beauty of this Swahili village. Approaching the waterfront can only be done by sailing boats during high tide along a tidal inlet adorned with lush mangrove trees. The wooden boat featured in the image, known as a mashua, represents traditional craftsmanship deeply rooted in Swahili culture. Faza's chequered history dates back centuries, and its resilience shines through despite being destroyed by past events. Today, it stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of its people and their rich heritage. The Lamu Archipelago surrounding Pate Island is famous for its Swahili architecture and vibrant coastal life. Coconut palms sway gently in the breeze, adding an idyllic tropical touch to this historic village. Nigel Pavitt's expert photography skillfully captures every detail, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in the allure of Faza. Discover Images by AWL brings you closer to Africa's hidden gems with this stunning portrayal of an authentic African waterfront.
