Africa is mystic; it is wild; it is a sweltering inferno; it is a
photographer's paradise, a hunter's Valhalla, an escapist's Utopia. It is
what you will, and it withstands all interpretations. It is the last
vestige of a dead world or the cradle of a shiny new one. To a lot of
people, as to myself, it is just 'home'. It is all these things but one
thing - it is never dull."
-- Beryl Markham - West with the night, 1942
