awaraagard 0 Posted November 25, 2008 Standing on the shores of REPUBLIC OF CONGO along CONGO RIVERS, a couple of miles away is KINSASHA, the capital of DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO, viewed in backdrop of this shot! Two capitals along a river, shimmer in late evening rays! Link to comment
jayanti 0 Posted November 26, 2008 Serene and calm composition. The sky is a bit flat; would a cropping help? Best regards. Link to comment
awaraagard 0 Posted November 26, 2008 definitely it needs cropping, but sitting amidst a serene landscape, cheerishing the precious glory of nature you don't really wish to disturb anything as for a memory. but for photography's sake, it is always different! regards! Link to comment
amalsircar 2 Posted November 26, 2008 Umair Bhai, beautiful blending of old & new Congo. Somehow ,I am scared in my memory about Congo because of it's gory history after independence. Have you visited the place where Stanley met Dr. Livingstone? Link to comment
awaraagard 0 Posted November 26, 2008 that place is on the forbbiden side of Congo! i remained escorted by locals throughout my travels, there was a consistant fear of violence erupting anytime. i couldn't get far to the south [which is more beautiful and scenic with remarkable rapid waterfalls of Congo river at various points] due to NINJA rebels issue. i saw burnt trains, demolished building everywhere. even burnt corpses along the way, the relics of ten years of domestic turmoil. the scars of ignorance that'll never vanish! i witnessed fear in every eye and silence prevailing apperant humdrum. regards!
