Description

The savannas of the Rift Valley, the misty mountains of Rwanda, the impenetrable jungles of the Congo, remote villages, the endless Sahara, the sallow courses of the great rivers...Nearly 200 photographs taken from the air during an exceptional documentary gives substance to a book such as never before realized, dedicated to the grazing lights and pristine skies of the African continent. The size of the album exalts the panoramic nature of the images; the passionate text that accompanies with explanations bestows Africa with a new and magical dimension.
