Photographer’s Note

The National Slavery Museum is found on the connection road from Luanda to Kwanza stream, it's head office is situated inside the chapel dated the XVII century, denominated "Big House Chapel" found on the "Morro da Cruz" (Cross's Mount) a suburb outside the city of Luanda.

The Slavery Museum of Angola is one of the most highlighted institutions of Angola and it has been used to inform the essence of the slavery history in Angola.

The "Big House Chapel" where the Museum is located has a great historic representation because it was the place where the slaves were baptized before they were sent away on the ships taken away from their families to completely strange and far away countries where there they were then condemned to work well beyond human conditions.

The place is open Monday-Friday from 09H00am - 16H00pm.

Thank you in advance,
Nelson Viegas

Hace años lo visite, tambien estubimos en la playa al lado del museo y visitamos la isla de Mussulo, un lugar precioso, luego psamos por el mirador de la luna hasta llegar a barra de Kuanza.
Un saludo desde España:

Good composition, nice try.
I like less the colours, a bit flat. The photo is not so sharp either. Maybe a polarizing filter would have helped, or doing some post processing. Anyway, nice idea and useful note.
Thanks

Finalmente uma fotografia bonita de Angola. Quantas vezes passei em frente ao Morro da Cruz durante as minhas pescarias na baía do Mussulo. Que saudades!!! É muito bonita a nossa terra.

Olá Nelson!
Gosto desta foto. Tem um aboa perspectiva, cores e sobretudo é um local que deve ser divulgado, uma vez que reflecte parte da história do país e do mundo.
Cumprimentos e bom fim de semana! Anabela

Hello Nelson,

Good captue of a decisive place which shows the ugly of the face of world and some human beings... It's pitty to see this face as racism, still, in this century...

Well done... Congrats...

I added a w/s acording to my taste of course.. Hope you like it...

Regards
Bulent
