This print captures the serene beauty of Siyu village on Pate Island, Kenya. Wooden sailing boats gracefully anchor at the end of a mangrove-lined tidal channel, creating a picturesque scene that transports you back in time. Siyu village, founded in the 15th century, was once a bustling hub with 30,000 inhabitants. Today, its population has dwindled to less than 4,000 people. The remnants of its glorious past are evident in the traditional wooden boats known as dhows that still dot its harbor. The mangroves surrounding the tidal channel add an enchanting touch to this idyllic setting. These resilient trees not only provide shelter and sustenance for various marine life but also serve as natural barriers against erosion and storms. As you gaze upon this image, your senses come alive with the sights and sounds of Siyu village. Coconut palms sway gently in the breeze while local fishermen prepare their vessels for another day's work. The intricate design of each wooden boat tells tales of craftsmanship passed down through generations. Nigel Pavitt's expert photography skillfully captures every detail - from the sturdy mangrove poles used to navigate these waters to the loading boats waiting patiently by the shore. This print is more than just an image; it is a window into a world where tradition and nature harmoniously coexist. Immerse yourself in this stunning portrayal of Siyu village and let your imagination sail away on these ancient wooden boats amidst Kenya's breathtaking coastal landscape
