My inspiration is looking at my environment through the questions I ask myself and being honest about my answers. —Arinze Patrick for AFRICAN FOTO

Songhor Lagoon (Ghana, December 1990), from NASA's Landsat satellite.

The Songhor Lagoon is shallow and brackish (more salinity than freshwater, but not as much as seawater).  It is located just west of the Volta River, and empties into the Atlantic Ocean on the Gold Coast of West Africa.  The region contains a variety of landforms and ecological niches, including mudflats, islands, open water, small streams, sandy beaches and salt pans.  Birds (including migratory birds) use it as an important stopping-over point, and several species of sea turtles live in the lagoon.
