[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Forodhani Gardens, by the waterfront of Stone Town, the capital of Zanzibar, the spice island.
The Forodhani Gardens aren’t really gardens; it is a park with a dilapidated pavilion and an enormous night market.
Fishermen had set up tables of cooked seafood—steamed lobster claws, fried octopus, fried fish, whole boiled crabs, and all for some shilling.
You can buy a freshly chopped coconut, from which you drank the juice. There are sugar cane juice machines that looked remarkably like instruments of torture and some Maasai's, selling jewelry, masks and statues.

Lovely photo Kris. It does have great atmosphere. You've done well to capture so much detail (in the kebabs, etc.) despite the dim natural firelight. I do seem to recall that this place was called Jamituri Gardens, though? Nice one!
Ryno

great capture of daily life! the food looks mighty interesting especially if you eat them with cold bottled coca-cola. :D

Hi Kris,
Nice effect! I like these attractive colours! I think that the title was perfectly chosen

regards,
Alonso
