Photographer's Note
1460 Antonio and Bartolomeo da Noli, Genovese navigators in the service of Portugal, claim the Cape Verde Islands.
The Islands were officially described as "uninhabited". However, given the prevailing winds and ocean currents in the region the islands may well have been visited by Moors or Wolof, Serer, or perhaps Lebu fishermen from the Guine Coast.
Folklore suggests that the islands may have been visited by Arabs or Phoenicians centuries before the arrival of the Europeans.
The Portuguese explorer Jaime Cortesao reported a story that Arabs were known to have visited an island which they referred to as "Aulil" or "Ulil" where they took salt from naturally occurring salinas.
Some believe they may have been referring to Ilha do Sal. Whatever the case may have been there was no population sufficiently well established to resist complete penetration by the Portuguese.

Hi Rui,
Those footprints work well as a symbol of solitude. There certainly is plenty of space, and sunshine. Vertical framing here is a good choice. And I'm going there next week!

Hello Rui,
The first thing that grabbed my attention were the fresh foot prints. Looks like a very desolate place. I like the mood, colors and sharpness. Nice inclusion of that lone person.
Happy Holidays.

Bonjour Rui,
beauté simple et directe d'un endroit côtier, parfaites lumières d'un soleil bas, ambiance d'infini qui détend. La petite touche avec ce personnage solitaire, bien pensée.

Olá Rui!
As pegadas a conduzirem-nos até à pessoa que caminha sózinha ao fundo ficaram perfeitas, especialmente nesta praia deserta. Gosto das cores e o formato está óptimo!
