Hi Gert.
It's a little known fact that the war in the DRC has cost more lives than any other conflict since WW2. What a desperate country.
Your shot is a beauty, with the clothes of these women standing out brilliantly against a background which becomes more and more hazy - like the future, perhaps. One even wonders if these three are still alive.
I always marvel at the way Africans can wear colorful clothes with such grace and to make the colours look so wonderful. Even in such god-forsaken places.
Thanks for this shot and excellent note.
Regards,
Andrew

Thanks Andrew,
Yes the DRC is a very sad story. It's also one of those rare countries where I haven't felt quite at ease. Kinshasa is a rather scary city.
Regards,
Gert
