Colorful Houses and Desert Landscapes in Cape Verde

I took a trip down memory lanes, dreaming of warm places while watching the snow fall outside my window. The cold outside contrasted with my warm memories, making me yearn for warmth while the winter’s chill wrapped around me.

These photos were taken several years ago, ten years ago during a memorable trip where we drove a bit inland in Sal, Cape Verde. The area we explored is likely more developed now. I would say this is an area where many locals live. As we ventured further, we marveled at flat desert are dotted with colorful houses. These particular photographs were captured on the way to Salinas de Pedra de Lume, an extraordinary salt mine, which certainly left a lasting impression on our journey.
