Dawn Exodus

Zanzibar, Africa

Of all the exotic islands i have been too and I have been to quite a few now, Zanzibar has been my favourite. I even went there a second time for my honeymoon. The magic still lingers. This was taken just before dawn on the stillest of morningsthe whole ocean was alive with the golden glow and then the dhows set sail. Oh my it was like something from biblical times. I caught these three, two in perfect silhouette the third with a translucent sail unfurled.

Number three is often what makes a photo outstanding, like these three dhows, add gorgeous colors on top. What could we ask more? v
