Haven on The Lagoon

That day at Lagoon Restaurants in Lagos, my cousin and I sat in companionable silence, each lost in our own thoughts but sharing the same view. A single boat floated quietly in the still waters, framed perfectly by the railings in front of me. There was something peaceful about that moment, the calm waters, the soft hum of distant activity, and the unspoken understanding between my cousin and me. I felt as though the world had slowed down, urging me to capture the beauty of stillness and simplicity.

Without a word, I reached for my phone, carefully composing the shot. As I pressed the shutter, I knew I wasn’t just capturing a view, I was freezing a memory of quiet reflection, shared silence, and the unassuming charm of Lagos’ lagoon.
