Photographer’s Note
Freetown's most famous landmark situated right in the center of the capital.
The Cotton Tree is a historic symbol of Freetown, the capital city of Sierra Leone. It was found growing in the town centre in 1792 when a group of former American slaves, who had gained their freedom by fighting with the British in the American War of Independence, joined the settlement and gave it the name Freetown. The tree is also the site for offering prayers for peace and prosperity.

Thanks thanks thanks, that's what I was waiting for. A picture from inside the country, with the city's life, showing movement and everyday lifestyle... Although the composition could be improved, I think, I like its luminous colors and the intrication between urban and natural elements.
Regards,
Marine
