Whilst exploring on the banks of the Zambezi River, found this beautiful young girl of about 13 years old....... Could easily be a model!

Tete has a new bridge recently completed and opened..... I'm sure it will help to ease the traffic congestion on the old bridge..... This pic sums it all up. Coal has caused this once sleepy city to boom....

Weeds and ruins. Not everyone's idea of beauty. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!

This is how our surrounding bush is looking like right now! A few green leaves popping up in anticipation of the glorious rain soon to arrive......I used 3 different applications on the pic, the first one being untouched. What do you think?

my last black and white image for a 5 day challenge I was doing.... this is a paper tree somewhere in the bush of Tete, Mozambique..... I am very sad to add that all the trees in our "adpopted" country are fast disappearing, making me almost feel an urgency to photograph all the incredible trees I can find surrounding me......

Haven't updated my blog for so long, as with doing doing Instagram and Facebook, it's just another! So not sure if people are following my daily life in Africa on here, please let me know........ A HDR shot of something we see daily, as the sun sets, the village descends on the river, doing all the necessary and sometimes sadly, a croc has his dinner :(

  • Tete Fort São Tiago Maior........ Forte de São Tiago Maior do TeteOrigem located on the right bank of the Zambezi River in Tete city, capital of the province of Tete, Mozambique. the occupation of the original Swahili town of Tete by the Portuguese forces dates back to 1530, then part of the United Monomopata, The village was elevated to a town and county seat in 1763. This fortification of Tete goes back to the years 1575-1576, a period when the Portuguese effectively consolidated their presence in the region. LAPA & Ferreri (1889) believe, however, that this fort was built by orders of Captain-General Caetano de Melo e Castro (1682-1686) but only completed in 1875, when it was designated as Fort D. Louis .According to historian Anthony Soup, its structure was ruined in 1836. In the early twentieth century, in 1911-1912, the then Governor of Tete requested its demolition as he considered it worthless, It avoided destruction and was transformed into warehouse for amoured cars At the time of the Second World War, their walls were fortified and restored a period and the gate entrance replaced.

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....
