RE: Beach Palm trees and Brown Sand / Landscape Photography Round 115

in PhotoFeed9 days ago (edited)

These shots look awesome. It's amazing to see those palm trees surviving when there is no water flowing there. What happened to the sea water? I think those plants were able to survive because they could tap some water beneath the ground.

Whay is the name of the beach? I would also love to see you share with us the flowing sea water. Always a pleasure to see it.

By the way, I had like to visit this place sometime in the future.

Sort:  

It is the beach locating on the Ocean side of Cotonou City in Republic of Benin. If you come to West Africa, you will see the beauty of this area.
There is fresh water pumped from the underground water resource to provide enough nutrient among many other organic material for the survival of the palm tree.
I think that the Atlantic Ocean water progression toward this section where the trees have their root will only make difficult their growth.
Thank you
🙏

I am already in west Africa, Nigeria precisely. I plan to visit Ibeno Beach this year which is in my state of origin, Akwa Ibom.

I hope sometime in the future, I will visit this beach in Cotonou and enjoy what nature gave to us.

I think that the Atlantic Ocean water progression toward this section where the trees have their root will only make difficult their growth.

Is the sea that far that water doesn't flow towards this area that is dry? It looks more like a desert.

It will be a pleasure to welcome you in Cotonou
Yes, it is still a long distance better the sea and the palm trees. Like you said, the progression of the wave from the Ocean reduce this distance and could negatively affect the growth of these palms tree.
Peace

Okay, I will that this as an invitation😊
If I get to Lagos, I don't think it's gonna be a far journey again for me cause i have read a couple of articles by tourists who traveled by land to Benin, Togo and Ghana.
