Wonderful News!
I say!
Wonderful news! Dr Z is back in Africa, undertaking further research in the Tuli Block. Perchance he will drop by Kalimbuka.
On a more sad note, my dear friend Elisha has been visiting Kenya, and reports that it has been very dry up in the 'Happy Valley'. The crops have failed and stock are dying. What very sad news from a wonderful part of the world.
Bad news from Ekwendeni, where a new disease has been attributed to Satanism. Not surprisingly, "Banda, who is also Moderator of the Synod, could not rule out Satanism as the cause but said it was difficult to prove."
To change track completely, here are some more snaps.
The first one is from the bhundu. Taken at Hwange, towards the end of a perfect afternoon. We found ourselves at a hide on stilts, surrounded by game. A magical snap, if I do say so myself, and one which is almsot prehistoric in concept. Of course, Menzies IV and Henry Morton were so excited that they could not keep quiet, and the game quickly dispersed.
The next one I took up at Motopos, in Zimbabwe, and shows an example of the rock paintings which date back - well, no one is quite sure, but probably thousands of years.
The next one shows Mrs M carrying Henry Morton over towards 'Livingstone's tree' in Botswana, where David Livingstone used to preach. A very old tree indeed.
Finally, a snap showing, in the distance, the roof of Africa - Lesotho. Wonderful place - don't miss the opportunity of going there, if you are in the area.

MMIII, That first photo is amazing! I would have been just like MIV & HMorton...so excited and not able to keep quiet. I simply cannot express how beautiful your photos of the wild animals are.
That is a gorgeous old big tree that the Mrs and HMorton are walking towards.
The bottom picture of Lesotho is breath-taking...I would love to see all of these areas.
Thank you again for allowing a closer look when clicking on the photos.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend MMIII.
Good pics MM, some more for my screen saver with your permission.
BTW - that blog makes me feel quite normal in comparison. I'll run it by my semiotic colleagues at the institiute, perhaps they can decipher it intertextualities.
Great views, great news, sad news, and bad news.
PS - how did you come across that testpattern blog? Did you Google it?
Mingin'! The last photie could be Scotland. Are you sure that's not the Pentland Hills? Great one of the big Livingstone tree. Did he find ra bliss under it? What do giraffe steaks taste like anyway? Hotboy
