[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Artists in Goree island expose their paintings for tourists. Some of the paintings are piece of art.

Goreé was the principal entry point off the coast of Africa for slavers and merchantmen flying the French flag. Thousands of Africans passed through this island fortress on the continent's bulge. After the abolition of the slave trade in France in 1848, Goreé was an outpost for policing the seas. As its role in trade declined, it became a stepping off point for French colonization of the interior of West Africa.

Hi Moncef

I much like this photo, it has a great perspective along this street and the colours of the pieces of work are awesome lined up along the sidewalk.

Colours striking, details sharp and excellent DOF and light metering performed here.

A terrific photo Moncef, and an interesting place to visit sometime and make a purchase! :-) TFS,

Martyn
