Vacation in Malawi.. Part 1

Here are a few photos from my last vacation when i went back to Malawi. The place that stole my heart. I present the warm heart of Africa, a diamond in the rough..... Malawi.



Like all things in Malawi even this dog's life is relaxed. He grew old in open woods where he could run his heart free, eat more and also as you can see, sleep more. His counterpart is more fun though.

At the end of this everlong pier, nested amongst pine, overlooking open sprawling plains is a large irrigation dam. This long pier is just a very sublte but effective medium of preparing you for what you see.

Random branches with lychen.


This is a sauna.. yes. the tiny sign says "No Muddy Feet!"

Each flower here is the size of your nail on your fourth toe from the big one. Its aranged in this natural boquet.



Above we see a tree that was cut. But what is amazing is life still, ever versatile flows and flourishes. That little green bud makes me feel like hope can always be found, and a brighter tomorrow always exists in our darkest days.

A space between two rocks that i just felt i had to somehow capture. So close and yet they may never meet on their own accord.

Above in my hands we have the beautiful semi precious stone, Rose quartz. In the obscure background the primeval mine it came from.

In the hands, these transparent semi-precious stones are quite brittle. And so need to be mined with care.

In this picture we have amazonite. Its a pretty stone. Which is greenish and has what looks like white nerves. Its geological structure is different so its formations are squarish in nature.

More in a few days!
