47. Sous le soleil africain
Garden by Leon Kluge
Africa is an immensely diverse continent, not only in terms of its fauna and flora, but also its culture and spirituality. From the red sand dunes of the Namib desert to the golden grasses of the Serengeti savannah, wherever you are in Africa, its rhythm will beat in your heart, you only need to listen to it...
Going down the steps into this garden dug out of the ground, you will hear and feel the spirit of Africa playing even in your veins. Water, which is the lifeblood that irrigates Africa, will flow out of the walls and clarify your thoughts. The patterns on the clay walls will whisper an African tale.
Sat in the middle of the garden, you will be surrounded by the wonders of nature and the African spirits that inhabit it.
