When I arrived to Benin, I had no idea that the floating village of Ganvie existed. I was really amazed when I saw this village built on stilts in the middle of the water several miles from the nearest shoreline. This is the biggest community living on water in the world, and the village has over 20.000 citizens that do everything from their wooden canoes. Shopping, transporting, socializing and working. This village is really a testimony that we people can adapt to everything. Even living on water.

What an interesting place and a great low angle for the picture. This looks like a third world Venice. Fascinating.
