MOZAMBIQUE BLUE'S by Magaret Meintjes

I have never experienced the beautiful blue’s of the Indian ocean, like i did in Mozambique, it is real and it is “magical”! / The “Dows” are these little boats that you can hire as a sort of “taxi” to just go on a fabulous venture’s on the peninsula or other little islands or as transport from “Inhambane” across to “Maxixe” on the mainland. Otherwise the locals go on daily net fishing and you can buy fresh fish from them when they return from their everyday, living trip!

On the outskirts of Lichinga, one of the larger towns in Mozambique, sits a clump of gorgeous trees. So close to town, yet it feels like its own oasis.
NO 5 - SPIKKELS AND THE CROW 10.48.19 HRS by Magaret Meintjes

After having so much response on “Spikkels” and the “Crow” I decided to share more of the magic moments I spent on the beach with Spikkels and the crow. All these captures just happened between two of natures creatures, unknown to each other, when I went for my daily ventures on the beach on Mozambique. There was just this amazing bond between the two strangers, animals, one a wirehair terrier, and a crow! I am going to try and load the captures on times that I did the captures to get the effects and magical moments, I will number the shoots to get them in sequence. Just enjoy these wonderful moments that I experienced! A friend in Mozambique, has a “Wirehair Terrier”, we were next door neighbors when I lived in Mozambique. “Spikkels” would always be there, whenever I went for an adventure stroll, with my camera of course! This amazing “ritual” happened everyday! This crow would come and actually play with him! He would dive down and chase Spikkels and then Spikkels would turn around and chase the crow again! They did not know each other, grew up together or nothing between them that could cause this! I have numerous captures of them playing on these outings, just wanted to share this!
Reflective Moments by Debbie Schiff

I painted this in transparent watercolour on 300gsm Bockingfords w/c paper using W/N paints. This is my niece Sam having a reflective moment and seemed distant in her thoughts…. We were away on holiday in Mozambique a few years back and when I saw her leaning like this against the Palm tree in front of the house I could not miss this ideal photo opportunity!

WASHED OUT... EVERY CLAM TELLS A STORY.. by Magaret Meintjes

WALKING ON A BEACH IN MOZAMBIQUE AT LOW TIDE IS AN ADVENTURE… THIS IS THE ONE HALF A HUGE CLAM THAT GOT WASHED OUT. WHEN I FIND THEM I ALWAYS WONDER WHAT WAS STRONG ENOUGH TO KILL AND OPEN THIS CLAM? I HAVE A CLAM FROM THERE THAT MEASURES 40CM IN LENGTH AND 25CM IN HEIGHT, ITS TO HEAVY FOR ME TO PICK UP… THATS NOT A LIVE ONE..

LONG 'FORGOTTEN' by Magaret Meintjes

LOCATION CAPTURED: PRAIA DO BARRA PENINSULA, Inhambane Province, Mozambique A, once used, old fishing fence, built with reeds, by a local fisherman in Mozambique. At hightide tide the water level rises much higher than the reeds, the fish comes in with hightide and as the tide changes and the water level goes down the fish land up in these huge areas that was fenced of / with reeds. About 70% of the peninsula has these, owned by local fisherman. At low tide they come and collect their catches. Sadly lots of beautiful tropical fish also loose their lives this way as they are just left to die. But, there are thousands of poor Mozambique people that have no income after the 20 years of war and this is the only way they can survive, to live of the sea.
