Dhow fishermen - Kenya "Dhow fishermen | Lamu | Kenya, 2011 Lamu is a place like no other with a history as mysterious as the winding streets of its medieval stone town. For those who appreciate the symbolic relationship between humans and nature in the making of a cultural landscape. Lamu and its surroundings is considered a jewel. The island is a place of rolling dunes and endless white sandy beaches where villages and fishermen nestle among the coconut and mango trees and the age-old Dhows ply the coastal waters."
