Once you take selfish ambition, jealousy, comparison and competition out, it really frees up a lot of space for joy, love, peace and kindness.......Christine Caine

  • I love exploring and photographing "new areas" and really appreciate friends that feel the same way and show me things I never knew exsisted. This "petrified forest" is incredible, close to the lake.... here is a little info! What is Petrified Wood? Petrified wood is a fossil. It forms when plant material is buried by sediment and protected from decay by oxygen and organisms. Then, groundwater rich in dissolved solids flows through the sediment replacing the original plant material with silica, calcite, pyrite or another inorganic material such as opal. The result is a fossil of the original woody material that often exhibits preserved details of the bark, wood and cellular structures. Some specimens of petrified wood are such accurate preservations that people do not realize they are fossils until they pick them up and are shocked by their weight. These specimens with near perfect preservation are unusual; however, specimens that exhibit clearly recognizable bark and woody structures are very common.
  • 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....
