A typical hut

Took a snap of this hut in nante village, Zambezia.....just to give an idea actually...not reflective of the typical construction. This one as you see and I later noticed is made of cement blocks. The more common method is to use bamboo as the base and cover it with mud to give solidity.......you will often see people sleeping outside the huts...The hay thatching is very common..as you see here..there also the framework is of bamboo as far as I know...In some cases there is timber pieces are used...this particular village is close to a good collection of Pauferro which ahs been used. pauferro is commercially traded species of premium wood

Sunset in Quelimane

Had to put up this amazing snap...sun setting over the airport in Qulimane...its also one of the best places in the town to sit around and sip a coke...it is right next to our log yard...

isnt it a beauty??

A snap of the bush

Featured is a snap of the typical bush...Ok, lets face it, this is how the typical african forest liooks...atleast as far as it goes in Mozambique...ofcourse there is a terrible lot of this stuff...where I went there was no special fauna...I mean other than a few African bull elephants and the odd Black mamba :))...joking ofcourse, but not about the back Mambas...havent see one though...they are supposed to be around

!!!!!

Church in the bush

Featured in the snap is a tiny church in nante, Zambezia. Just makes you think...the same God is worshipped here as in all grand temples and splendid churches...Amazing isnt it?

...just a lill bit of philosophy thrown in :))

Snaps with kids

I Looooovvveee this snap...I bought all those smiles with a pack of biscuits and some chocolates...isnt that wonderrful...This is one snap I will always cherish...I am sure!!!!

My humour sense

Hey! This for those stern critics of my humour sense...it works and it works like magic amigos.....I had these tough bushmen(They are that) going gaga over my jokes...Dont be deceived by their modernish dresses....the snaps were taken 8 kms from the closest bush road and over 150kms from the closest tar road...fairly deep in the bush forests of Zambezia province...and yup, as you might have guessed we dont speak any common language....so what made them burst out in this fashion...sorry...professional secret :)))

Work ethic

People her have a relaxed work ethic when compared to Indians...while the ship was loading we went out for food and when we came back , we saw this...ofcourse the incident was NOT one off...just reflective...pardon the quality, this one is a snap from the mobile
