I had a farm in Africa Photo

Photographer’s Note

"I had a farm in Africa at the foot of Ngong Hills" - these words open a famous novel written by Karen Blixen.

Here is her house and garden. And you can see Ngong Hill in far background. "Out of Africa" movie was shot here but only scenes outside the house, because at the time of a movie production there was still no electricity in the house. So interios were shot in Hollywood.
It did not matter to us - this is a place to visit. And remember

Very interesting note. You have captured the beauty of this place so well! I really like the composition with those flowers hanging down. The depth of field is excellent. Thanks for sharing this lovely place with us.

Marek,
I love the tight composition: makes me feel like I am right there ! Are those bougainvilliers ?
