A bit of Forewarning: This post is a bit large - but then again, so is the Continent.
I'm talking Africa.
After much deliberatiion as to whether or not to post this Blog in 2 segments I decided to keep
it as one as I feel it really shows the magnitude of the amount of inspiration and beauty that
eminates from this country. So grab a cup of coffee or glass of wine and enjoy the trip where
the colors are sublime, the animals magical and the textures divine - you'll be sure to see why
this continent is one of the greatest sources of inspiration for modern design!
