Yesterday I wrote about a little walk I took in the neighbourhood where I'm housesitting. I showed a few shots of some of the "things" in the area - homes, churches, landscape etc. Here are some of the people I met (there are quite a few pics, not all of which are brilliant pieces of photography, but I couldn't decide which ones to leave out!) I'm sure I don't need to tell you that if you click on the pics you'll get bigger, better versions...

| Two boys on their way home from school for lunch. They'll return to school for around two hours' lessons later in the afternoon. |
 |
| Two little children with an old truck tyre as a play-ring. |
 |
| A young school girl we came across. She had the sweetest nature. |
 |
| A side-of-the-road welder. He was welding a cart, a door and security bars for windows - all just where people were walking. (Now that's walk-by clientele.) I love the "welder's goggles" - a cheap pair of sunglasses. |
 |
| A typical old Malagasy man - life etched in his face. |
 |
| The lady running the local "canteen" - also at the side of the road - just outside one of the local high schools. |
 |
| Girl in the cosmos... I love these flowers. And suddenly she popped up in their midst, beaming! |
 |
| One of the slightly more "formal" canteens which serves pretty much anyone who bothers to stop ... Samoosas, Crepes, bread and the ever-present rice dishes. |
 |
| And finally... the little girl sitting on the doorstep to her house eating a delicious, succulent "mielie" |
Such beautiful smiling faces.. it's all in the eyes. Wonderful photos, Robin.
ReplyDeleteThe girl in the flowers reminds me of "The Color Purple" Love it :)
ReplyDeleteYum! I miss the grilled corn on the cob they sell on the streets in Mexico. I love these glimpses into life in Mada.
