Gorée View on Courtyards (Vue sur Cours)














Clash of cultures: 1) the WWII gunsight, 2) the modern sail-like symbolic concrete monument (with no explanation of what it means) and 3) local textile artists displaying their wares among various gun emplacements.





The (in)famous House of Slaves, now a museum.



View of Dakar from Gorée








Notice the very straight palm tree on left. It is made of steel and tries to hide the mobile phone antenna.



Art and laundry, Laundry and art or just Laundry Art?




We asked if we could rent a room for a week end, but they said that the house was too small (true), but how inviting!!
