Very nice picture, Tish… I love the power of the colours of those young women’s clothes… and its contrast with a more neutral background. Great composition! 🙂
Hi Muthoni. I wasn’t being definitive here, but when I took the photo years ago, there were quite a lot of young women selling kangas and curios on the shore in front of the beach hotels.
Hello Paula. Kangas are the brightly coloured wraps/sarong and head covering. They usually come in pairs and have pithy mottos on them, sometimes a bit naughty. Curios It the collective term for all the African carvings, jewellery, baskets and indeed kangas that beach traders sell to tourists 🙂
Grace, style and energy indeed, Tish! What a great capture
🙂
Beautiful

Many thanks, Eleazar
I love this image….Thank you, Janet 🙂
Thanks, Janet. All those colours just up your creative street I think.
Indeed….enjoy the sunshine this weekend…Janet 🙂
Beautiful colours too. I can feel their joie de vivre. Fantastic capture, Tish!
Thank you, Paula. Joie de vivre is just the right description.
I have lived in the Kenyan coast for more than an year now and it has never crossed my mind that we have beach girls so thanks for this picture!

What are kangas and curios?

Bright colours look great on black skin. When I return to UK everyone seems to be wearing dark or white. Shame. But lovely picture all the same
Asante sana, daktari 🙂
Oh, the colours!
Lift the spirits, don’t they. I miss all that vibrancy.
I’m not in the least surprised!
This is so typical…
And tells us about other cultures , too!
🙂
A great photo!
Fabulous photo. They look so at one with their environment, so at home.

I like your perspective, Alison. They are so in step, so grounded, but spirited too.
Absolutely! 🙂 🙂 Love the shot, Tish. And so different from the Beach Boys!
Aren’t they just 🙂
Grace, energy and colour.
Spot on, Irene.
Beautiful shot.
Thank you 🙂
