Amazing Africa: The yellowest bananas we’ve ever seen…
For this Amazing Africa album, we decided to illustrate the lush vegetation on the continent using some of our favorite photos from ONE’s archives. In this set, we paid close attention to color and detail: pink mangoes ready to drop, a delicate, butter-colored rose and ripe yellow bananas by the dozen. Scroll through, and at the end of the blog post, leave us a comment telling us which photo is your favorite.
