un lugar..., a photo from Nampula, North

Photographer's Note

In January 2008 a flooding event hit the Tete Province of Mocambique. I arrive there in mid February and spend three months working in a devastated city called (not because of the flooding but due to the last civil war)Mutarara. I also spend a month in the mdlle of the Zambezi valley in a god forgotten place called Doa. However...I took a week off and went to Ihla de Mocambique..one of the most beautyful places in Southern Africa. Ilha is a sand bar that served as Portuguese capital for what today is Mocambique. The majority of the population are Muslims. The town is a UNESCO world heritage. It is a sleepy town worth a visit.

I have been experimenting with my camera and basically all my pictures are taken with a Temperature of between 7100-9900 K and with a polarizer. This is why it looks as it were oxidize.

cheers

Hej Rolando,
Kanske inte bästa parasoll-beachen men klart vatten vad det verkar. Vad kom du fram till vad gäller att ställa in temperaturen? Polariseringsfiltret verkar i vart fall funka bra. I övrigt härliga färger!

Hej Rolando,
I didn't notice that you had returned. This is a fine picture with interesting colours. It's also one of the places I still could imagine visiting in Africa. A friend of mine was quite excited about it.
Hälsningar,
Gert

Hola Rolando,
¡Que maravilla de mar!. Me gusta lo bien que le van los colores tan saturados. Además me recuerda que tendría que ir a la playa un día de estos para tener un poco de sensación de verano, lástima que aquí no esten así de desiertas.
Un abrazo,
Mirari
