Good photo David, it certainly does show the reality of most periurban areas of Maputo and Mozambique, but I have to disagree with you and the sense of insecurity that you may get from the photo and note. You find places like this in Maputo, just as you woould around any large cities in the developing world, or even in some great cities of the "first" world, but this does not mean that Maputo and Mozambique don't not have very nice and even wonderful places that any tourist might enjoy. I am currently working in Mozambique and living in Maputo, and I find that Maputo and Mozambique is a much safer place than what most people think and talk, I can walk with my camera almost anywhere and have no problems wondering at night, people are very nice and friendly, food is great, you have to take precautions as you would in any large city, the beaches are incredible specially in the northern areas and the turist industry is rapidly becoming an important part of the economy. Therefore, turists should not be discouraged to come to Mozambique, you will find it a great place to visit. As far as the independence war (1965 - 1975) and civil war (1975 - 1992) is concerned, you can certainly see that most of the country's infraestructure has been damaged or abandoned after 27 years of conflicts. This country has only found peace 14 years ago and it is just begining to get its act together.

Good shot Dusan, I like the way you see the details of the glaciar, looks like it is about to fall off. It is too bad the glaciars are getting smaller every year due to climate change.

Hi Tina:

I like this picture very much because of the color variety, pressence of children and life... in the middle of nowhere. That is a good sensation.... Congratulations...

Great Photo Femke. You can feel the intensity of the moment through their expressions. It also helps that you put the camera at their level so as to not look down on them. TFS.
