23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Shadows, Silent Documentation of our Visit to the Slave Dungeons of Cape Coast Castle, Ghana

Our tour bus took us to the Cape Coast Castle, a fort of slave dungeons and slave trade operations. A somber place, and, out of respect for the slave trade that occurred there, human shadows produced a solemn feeling without disturbance.
