About Another Happy Tower from Luanda.

Some of you have already seen more happy (human) towers in my portfolio.
This tower in particular made part of a previous shot with “Unknown horizon” and a hundred small stories.

For me these towers symbolize the ability of the people of Angola to reconstruct society after a bloody civil war which ended in 2002.

Angola, officially the Republic of Angola, is a country in south-central Africa bordering Namibia to the south, Democratic Republic of the Congo to the north, and Zambia to the east, and with a west coast along the Atlantic Ocean. The exclave province Cabinda has a border with the Republic of the Congo and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Angola was a Portuguese colony from the 16th century to 1975. The country is the second-largest petroleum and diamond producer in sub-Saharan Africa, yet its people are among the continent's poorest. According to the International Monetary Fund, more than $4 billion in oil receipts have disappeared from Angola's treasury in the 2000s.

A beautiful image of human natures power to heal after a civil war-
I am so sorry to hear about the the peoples loss of their monetary funds that have disappeared -
I am not surprised after reading your story about getting arrested tho - - - I think the people still have an internal war going on altho this image shows a desire to heal !

A great shot my dear Paul - full of great hope !!
Hugs, & kisses, and Take Care,
Michele~
