Photographer’s Note

The view of Zambian village in the mountains between Chongwe and Chavunga (south-eastern Zambia).
Round small cottages are typical for villages this part of Africa.
I took this shot from our overland truck.

Pełnia egzotyki. Ciekawe, gorące kolory. Fajne miejsce daleko od domu. Dobra kompozycja z facetem z kolorowymi kanistrami.
Pozdrawiam.

Hi Andrzej,

I am surprised by that mix of homes made of wood that look traditionnal and a few houses that look to be made of stones.
Another feeling implied by your photo is that everything looks very dry. The landscape is extremely dry. The subject is apparently transporting water.The photo itself is well composed to my opinion. But I wish you would say more about it in your note.
Interesting image anyway.
Pascal.

Hi Andrzej,
Well captured from a driving truck and relatively little unsharp spots due to the movement, only the person and the ground up to the stones on about a third from the right.
Compo is quite ok I think and it gives a good idea of the living conditions.
Thanks for sharing.
Harko

Very nice capture of that rather difficult landscape. Interesting blend of different house styles!

Hi Andrzej, this is a fantastic shot of daily life in the rural areas, the huts are superb & look very well made indeed, I would love to visit this part of Africa one day & the more photos you post the more keen I am to visit, TFS, kind regards Wilson.

Hi Andrzej, this is a post card picture of course. You did a really good job in mastering technical part of shooting this photo. Very sharp. Sothy

Witaj, Andrzeju.
Bardzo ladne zdjecie.
Podoba mi sie tutaj ta kobieta-sama jedna we wsi, odpoczywajaca pewnie przez chwile od targania wody (Jasmis pisze, ze to facet, ale to jakos na kobiete wyglada).
Pozdrawiam. Grazyna.
