What guided this image
Landmarks
Cathédrale Notre-Dame-de-l’Immaculée-Conception; Use; Keep
Viewpoint
Use a conservative, slightly raised oblique view of the cathedral and adjoining low-rise streets, favoring the documented everyday center over a generalized riverfront postcard with invented landmark relationships.
Palette
Muted botanical green should predominate in the genuine street and compound trees, with slate-grey roofing, pale walls and restrained earth-neutral cathedral masonry balancing the scene.
Guarded against
Avoid making Bangui look like Bangkok with Thai temple roofs, Kinshasa with a much larger tower skyline, or Djenné with an earthen Great Mosque.
