Snapping Africa 2

I hope you enjoy my next "photographic adventure" as much as I will sharing it with you.....

Monday, 9 September 2013

this is a bit of a blurry snap, but just love the colours, so had to share.... taken from an article on Digital Photography School website..... "I’ve always liked the idea that great photography happens on the edges. Twilight, the transition between night and day, is an edge. I think of it as the ‘magic hour’. You may also see it referred to as the blue hour, a reference to the colour of the ambient light as night falls."

a typical family home in the local village areas of Tete. I tend to complain about all the constant dust we have to deal with here, but imagine living like this, where dust is your constant companion. The rains arrival in a few months will settle it all down, and everyone cant wait.... Blessed indeed...

Our loads will be lightened when we reach the other side......but in the meantime, maintaining an attitude of gratitude will lighten our load considerably!

  • the old and new bridges spanning the Zambezi river in Tete city. A huge difference will be made with the transit traffic flow once the new bridge is completed!!
     you can notice the Benga coal project in the distance.......
  • 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.
     Gate looking in......  unfortunately they have built the city water tank inside :( Gate looking out over city of Tete
  • These trips on Moz/Zim roads, crossing hectic borders, are never easy! Looking for gorgeous highlights along the way , make up for all the chaos!

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....
