In this breathtaking photo series by Nigerian photographer; August Udoh, we see one of Lagos’ oldest beaches like never before. The photographer who lives by the beach, often takes walks at night to clear his head and breathe in the fresh ocean air. After 10 months of living by the beach, he became inspired by these walks and decided to document his daily walks.

With picturesque views accompanied by a feeling of serenity and calm – this photo series reiterates the fact that beauty is all around us. We just have to take a moment to soak it all in. View the photos below.
