Articoli correlati a Flowers of the moon: Afroalpine Vegetation of the Rwenzori...
In the heart of Africa lie the legendary Mountains of the Moon, presently known as the Rwenzori Mountains. Their ice-capped peaks are said to be the highest sources of the Nile. A constant veil of clouds and mist have added an air of mystery to these extremely steep and rugged mountains. In these primeval landscapes grows a vegetation so unusual and extravagant it has been called "botanical big game". Drawn by the enigmatic beauty of this Afroalpine vegetation, Sebastian Schutyser captures an otherworldly Africa in black-and-white photography. His Flowers of the Moon also call attention to the advancing deforestation and global warming that threaten planet Earth, our only home.

A compelling photographic look at one of the few remaining areas on earth unaffected by human presence in ethereal, sometmes haunting, images. The first sighting of the Rwenzori Mountain Range by non-Africans was made by Sir Henry Morton Stanley in 1876. Previous to his well-documented report, there were only rumours about these mountains on the border of present Uganda and the Congo, which feed the waters of the Nile. The Greek astronomer Ptolemy referred to them as Mountains of the Moon, a name still used today. The Rwenzori are well known for their extravagant plants. Most stunning are the giant heathers, senecios, and lobelias.Though the flora is similar to that of other higher African mountain ranges, it is much more luxuriant, and is characterized by usually giant plants. This environment has an aesthetic and almost mystical effect on those who dare to intrude. In this book, photographer Sebastian Schutyser focuses on the aesthetic qualities of the Rwenzori Mountains in general, and of the Afroalpine vegetation in particular. By doing so, he also explores the boundaries of documentary photography. The use of infrared photography creates an unusual, pictorial result, enhancing the pristine beauty of these landscapes. The book also includes illustrations of the major plants of the area and maps of the region. Codice articolo 200757
