Nouakchott Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

The harbour of Nouakchott captured against the sunligth with some sand of the Sahara in the air.

On our cruise around West Africa we planned a stop at Nouakchott. Nouakchott has only one quay and it was blocked by a container ship. After waiting for some hours the container ships starts to move away from the quay and just in this moment in the machine had a crash. After some calls with the captain we see that we hadn't any chance to enter the port on this day. So we continue our travel to the north to West-Sahara.

Hello Achim,

A POV well selected and a large POV give a great depht to this shot. Plesant play of light in the sea. The silhouets of the machine in the BG give a beautiful graphic effect.
Have a nice evening,
Roger

If you took at right or left,really,it'd been most affective than that!But it's very great in this wise.An amazing perspective Achim.
Take care of yourself,

Bonsoir, cher ami Achim,
Merci de nous faire profiter de ce voyage au cours de ces photographies. La beauté de la composition est manifeste avec ce ciel qui se colore de jaune rosé et de ces vagues en mouvement laissant apercevoir ce port en pleine activité.
Je suis avec beaucoup d'intérêt cette traversée.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Bonjour Achim,
un peu pauvre et terne cette photo industrielle peu emballante. L'horizon un peu centré et trop de ciel à mon gôut, j'aurais croppé ou cadré plus pas.
Regards.
Daniel.

Hi Achim,
misty atmosphere a bit. An interesting glance on the harbour. Another nice remembrance from Your African journey. Good shot.
