[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Goreé Island, rich in history, is probably the area's favorite and most famous tourist attraction. One of the most frequently visited sites is the Maison des Esclaves (Slave House), a poignant reminder of Goreé's role as the center of West African slave trade. Built by the Dutch in 1776, the slave house has been preserved in its original state. Other points of interest include the Church, the picturesque ruins of Fort Nassau, Saint Michel (the Castle) and the Historical Museum in the old Fort Estrees. There is a small swimming beach near the ferry slip.

hi Moncef

Wonderful angle to shoot this building and such a nice way to present architecture. You have done well to frame both sides of the alley, bringing different colors of walls to contrast.

Well chosen time of day to have this light exposure. Well done.

I hope you will post more interesting photos of this place, yeah?

TFS, bill

Hi Moncef

This is a superb POV you have used to capture this photo. Great perspective and both alleys are very appealing having sharp and colourful character.

A very nice composition and an interesting note. TFS,

A creepy place, given its dark history ... I can only imagine how many sad stories linger in its walls.

Very well captured, your chosen POV is excellent with everything included in the frame, perfect metering, a real sense of depth and distance.

Great work
