Very exotic place...

Well done.

Excellent TE post. Nice African village scene.

Hi Greg,

Yes, neighbors again :).

Great capture of daily living in Malawi. Excellent note as well...love exotic cooking.

TFS,

An interesting scene from daily life. I don't know about exotic cooking though...seems pretty staple and basic to me.But if we all ate more simply we would all be less fat.And there would be more to go round for everyone else in the world. We in the West eat and drink very exotically.Prime ground in third world countries is used to provide us with tea, coffee etc etc.

Hi Greg,
This picture looks very familiar to me due my visits in little villages in the Indian
ocean.Nice shot,a great atmosphere(makes me hungry)and thanks for sharing,Alberto

Hi Greg
interesting picture of daily life, the sky seems a bit overexposed but that is ok as it happens in my pictures too.
Good job
