Trip from Kribi to Yaounde

Trip from Kribi to Yaounde

My wife took this wonderful photo on our way from Kribi to Yaounde. At the first moment it looks like an ordinary snapshot. At the second glance it transports the embracing feeling we had when we were diving into the rain forest in Cameroon.

Auf dem Weg von Kribi nach Jaounde hat meine Frau dieses wunderbare Foto geschossen. Auf dem ersten Blick wirkt es wie ein einfacher Schnappschuß. Auf dem zweiten Blick transportiert es das Gefühl das wir hatten, als wir in den kamerunsichen Regenwald eintauchten.
