A moment for the aesthetic pleasures

I am unashamed to be an Africophile. The continent's wars, violence, corruption and poverty are well-document. The warmth and openness of its peoples, less so. But aside from the great and resilient Africans, most of whom deserve much better, one of the things that I love most about the place is the continent's physical beauty.

The BBC's website has a great photo album of sunsets from across the continent.

It's definitely worth a few minutes of your time.
