Description:
Ouidah, Benin. Lake Toho, view from the lake toward the Tchiakpecodji Ahozon landing stage. Taken from the water, this view shows moored pirogues and shoreline buildings reflecting in the calm, greenish lake surface. A dead tree rising from the water on the right anchors the composition. The orange sanitation unit is visible in the background. The near-perfect reflection of the landscape creates a soothing visual symmetry, characteristic of the diffuse light on Lake Toho under overcast skies. The image functions equally as landscape and document.
