a very grainy pic of the Tete bridge at night, taken from a very far distance(the new bridge)......... I love Tete at night, the dark covers a "lot of sins!"

I love travelling around Moz and finding these unexpected gems of old farm homes, (this is better off than most!) and wondering about the past stories, joys and sorrows that were made behind these walls..... I guess many after us will walk around our ruins (beloved homes) in Zimbabwe and wonder the same.......

a rather blurry photograph, but this is taken on the new Tete bridge (due to open in Spetember, yay) facing Tete town and the old bridge in the background..... makes Tete look so peaceful, BUT........

I havnt been too busy on my blog, so here goes.... A different view of the spectacular Cahorra Bassa dam wall and here's a little history about it all.... The dam began to fill in December 1974 after construction was commenced in 1969 by the Portuguese colonial government of Mozambique (Portugal), and is 171 m (560 ft) high by 303 m (994 ft) wide at the crest. Built in the first half of the 1970s when Mozambique was still a Portuguese territory, long stretches of the power transmission lines were sabotaged during 16 years of Mozambican Civil War which ended in 1992. The lake has reached a maximum length and width of approximately 250 km and 38 km respectively, flooding an area of 2,700 km² with an average depth of 20.9 m.[1]
