View on Le Morne Brabant / Panorama Photography

from Le Morne Brabant Panorama, Mauritius.

Found at the South-Western coast of Mauritius Island, Le Morne Brabant is an impressive rocky mountain and sets itself apart from others, also well known as the surf and kite surf village. History made this mountain famous and is known to form part of The World Heritage Sites, Runaway slaves used Le Morne Mountain as hideout to ensure they won't be captured again. After slavery was at last abolished, an expedition was sent to inform them that they were free people at present but unfortunately they misunderstood the campaign and jumped from the summit into the death.
We went for high sea fishing along with our photography teacher, analyzing the lighting conditions and time lines. Wow we did not expect we would hunt for photography shots on high sea, well it was a pleasant experience and we learned new things. At least the tutor caught a fish hahaha.. Lots of images taken handheld and stitched together to create this ultra wide panorama.
