Snapping Africa







This is just to get to know my new camera a Nikon D90. I am endeavouring to challenge myself in adding one photo daily for the rest of the year. I do live in an interesting part of Africa, Tete, Mozambique where lots is going on and happening. Enjoy

This is what Tete, Moz is all about right now...... Eqstra Blasters take off the last layers of Sandstone Shale and Mudstone to reach Top of Coal on Rio Tinto. Benga Mine . Coal extract will amount to 5 million Tonnes a Year in the next few years. These amazing "blast" pics were taken by a friend, Craig Vandeleur.......

About Me

Now I am back in a slightly more "civilized" country....... far away from the wide open spaces and exciting daily adventures, but I can hope I can continue to show you the beauty from this very populated little Island, Mauritius, just a speck in the Indian Ocean....

  • this old lady certainly doesnt have a very pleasant job but still had lots of smiles for me :) They sit in the very hot sun alongside the main road, breaking rocks for the booming building industry in Tete city.........
  • Splendour that once was...........thank goodness God's splendour never fades.
  • took my 2 little ducks (now identified as whistlers) to visit with their friends next door ....I tied blue ribbon around their necks to identify them - well....after much ducking and diving and having tremendous fun - alas - the ribbons were lost!! The result........decided to leave them with their friends, will go and visit them often :)
