In my travels I have encountered many hidden pieces of art in the world we live in. These range from the beauty of a mountain range, to a hidden street stall in a busy city. There’s always been something I’ve found quite structurally beautiful about some of the rural areas I’ve passed through. In Africa everyone thinks about the stereotypical round hut made of stone and thatch, but there is nothing wrong with this. Yes they’re not the houses which we are used to in most of our societies, but at the same time that doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with them. If anything they are a lot more interesting to look at compared to our square brick houses.
I’d also like to give some food for thought here; is the title actually the best representation for a photo such as this? Is the rural life really that simple?
