EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting beauty of Cotonou, Benin, as the sun sets over the famous market. The image showcases the backside of Dantokpa Market, a bustling hub that pulsates with life during daylight hours. As dusk descends upon this West African city, a serene reflection dances on the calm waters of Lake Nokoué. In this snapshot, one can witness a harmonious coexistence between nature and urbanity. The channel leading to the lake is flanked by houses that stand tall against an orange-hued sky. However, amidst this picturesque scenery lies evidence of human consumption - litter and refuse scattered along the riverbank. The juxtaposition in this photograph serves as a reminder of both progress and responsibility. While Cotonou thrives as Benin's capital city and economic center, it also grapples with waste management challenges. The dumpsite visible in the distance highlights an ongoing issue faced by many developing cities across Africa. Nevertheless, there is hope within this frame; hope for sustainable development and environmental consciousness. Through awareness and collective effort, communities like Cotonou can work towards finding innovative solutions to tackle waste disposal while preserving their natural surroundings. Discover Images by AWL presents us with not just a visually stunning portrayal but also prompts contemplation about our impact on our planet's delicate ecosystems – urging us to reflect upon how we can contribute positively towards its preservation without commercial exploitation
