Hey Hiveans. Hi Pinmapplers รท) ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿฝ

It's the first time I'll be posting in this community and it surely won't be the last. I mean I visit, I like like what I see, but I don't have anything to put out.
Last week though, I travelled to a pretty pretty location and took some pictures... walk with me and enjoy! 
PS: you've gotta forgive my photography skills, I really don't have any.

The location is Iwollo, in Ezeagu, a village in Enugu State, Nigeria ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฌ. More specifically, it's a Conference Centre.

Bad bad photography, I know. Pardon me. Anyhoo, that's like the reception area. There's a big rectangular mirror opposite me and a table under it, where there are pamphlets and boxes, and key holders, and stuff for visitors. Yep, use your imagination ๐Ÿ˜‹.

*This is a better shot huh?*

I just like the wooden furniture and the African print. Now I wish I captured more of this room. You must pardon me. :)

On the sides of this corridor are an office, a room I'll soon show you, a seminar room (with the ambience of a conference room), and the living room. Yeah, I'll show you the latter too. It's really nice. I caught myself just staring. I'm glad I remembered to take a shot. 


![20231201_071205.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/uchelee/23xyNRtc45DA27kn5i9a6YwdH75afM7KryND9EPpCt3cBd6nT5fEZYkvJj7oVkKqVpXuR.jpg)

This is a corner where I spent half my time, reading books and enjoying the fresh air from behind. The chairs were super comfy.


![20231201_072727.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/uchelee/244Up5GeWdSjZNq8ABvbvdUJ2uiwT38g7SMEDm29ytBwmrz42pi9DygQnWzsdR828QnBt.jpg)
Now, here's the room I told you about. It's cozy, and there's just enough to behold. You could admire what's going on in the table, or you could admire this โฌ‡๏ธ wall. 
![20231201_072836.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/uchelee/EpXK1XyR9Uevxw8nbHae56FBUhmoiT4f5aAYf6cvBkQyzVnBYCqnzrKqJg8eyW2xxKU.jpg)
I'm sure you can imagine where it is, just opposite the chairs you saw in the previous image. The door opens in front of it. It's a reading/meditation room, I think. The chair on the left is a sofa. The general atmosphere in the room seems to be saying, "hey, come sit, have some peace and quiet, and just think, or read or meditate."


![20231201_072802.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/uchelee/EonmzydkUCpDCX2BpoZyB5gVExRe7i5ZvHNfffyPZgkEZ3ttQcwEbXvg6SHNaqyLA9R.jpg)
*This framed painting is right above the sofa.* 

I tried to snap it without having my reflection in the photo. I succeded but it's got a weird angle. Haha. I hope it still looks cool.

Time for the living room. ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿพ

Okay, it's not like it's my favourite place in the entire building so I don't even know why I'm dancing. But I guess it's worth the dance. Hehe, yeah it is. Do you agree? Love the sloped ceiling though.

*A clearer picture of the wooden plate on the table.*

*Another clearer picture.*
*Art is beautiful! African art is priceless.*

*This looks like Aladin's mat. It's in the living room too, just on the wall, in front of which I took the widest shot from.*


When you look at the picture of the living room,  you'll notice some glasses without curtains. They're sliding doors, leading to where I found this. 

![20231201_072308.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/uchelee/2423z1fCzDz2kcFUS988TyDy3kpgoffzBku7u4wGo5cPW2r5V77Qi7EpMkJH4wRuoL6cx.jpg)
It looks like I could've been here right? Well, it's just a painting. Here's what it really is.

And from this space, you can see this. โฌ‡๏ธ

*Hmmmm, green, green, green. Fresh.*

**Another wing** shows more greenery. And then a group of artwork depicting some African traditional religion gods and/or masquerades.

*Clearer/upclose/fav. subgroup.*

Just beyond this passageway, are the living quarters. The Conference Centre hosts visitors all year long, but in parts. Some conferences, or retreats last 2 full days, others, 3.

```
I only took pictures of fascinating things and places, but the rest of the rooms, corridors, spaces, were perfectly neat and tidy, and beautiful and really, that's a rarity down here. It shows a commitment to the managerial work and an apt attention to detail. I hope to visit other conference centres run by the same group (Opus Dei, a Catholic community), in other countries of the world. Especially to compare, not the neatness, but the general reception. Would it be peculiar to the region? I think so.

Thank you for watching ๐Ÿ˜, and reading. I promise to do better at camera capturing. If only my eyes could be my camera, for your sake. Hehe.

For now though, I make do with my Samsung A22 phone camera.

Until next time. ๐Ÿค—
