Buildings on the bank of an inlet at Cape Coast, Gold Coast, Africa.

Buildings on the bank of an inlet at Cape Coast, Gold Coast, Africa. The photographer is looking across the inlet showing fishing nets hung up to dry on pole frames on the foreshore with dugout canoes at the water's edge. The buildings are a complete mix of construction types and sizes, ranging from small huts with thatched roofs to three storey brick and stone structures under pitched roofs. Palm trees are interspersed with the buildings.
