Between the earth and the sky
Wokipi will be using an alternative way to photograph the world, kites or solar balloon.
Patrick and Patricia have had the travel virus for a long time, but it was not until 2011 that they finally managed to set up the first part of their trip, to Central Asia.
Now, after various preparations, it is the turn of West Africa.
A journey that will last 5 months, from November 2016 to April 2017. A journey during which they will photograph the world, from on high with their feet firmly on the ground, allowing them to meet people along the way.
