A very good day to you! This week’s wallpaper comes from the Athi 4 X 4 Challenge that was held in March. What stood out for me was the determination each driver had to conquer the obstacles in their way, no matter how impossible they looked to them and their machines. And when they did …

African Screens 41 – Lake Kivu Fishermen

I hope you are doing well today. Minimalism is a style of photography that I truly love. Instead of filling my frame with the subject, I give it enough breathing space, especially when the surrounding is plain and free off clutter. It works very well with landscapes where you can have a little ground and …
