I’ve been offline for a while and am kick-starting my return today with this gem. Who could resist?
WTF Friday
WTF Friday – Which Way Africa Style (Part Four)
Once a week Cee from Cee’s Photography Blog runs a Which Way Photo Challenge – everyone is welcome to take part.
You can read the rules for the challenge here.
We came upon this bridge while travelling in Mocambique some years ago. It didn’t even look safe enough to walk across but we had to get to the other side …
On my last trip to Zimbabwe I happened across this accident. It was late afternoon and I didn’t want to be on the road after dark, so after an hour of sitting around waiting while nothing happened I decided to ‘bundu bash’ through the bush to get around the truck and continue my journey. Thankfully no one was injured.
One of my neighbours hung this hopeful sign on her vegetable garden fence. I wonder if the hippos take any notice?

Five Photos, Five Stories Challenge (Day Three): WTF Friday
Thank you to Cee from Cee’s Photography Blog for inviting me to join in this challenge. Please pop over to her site and feast your eyes on some beautiful, inspiring pictures .
“The rules of Five Photos, Five Stories Challenge require you to post a photo each day for five consecutive days and attach a story to the photo (It can be fiction or non-fiction, a poem or simply a short paragraph) and then nominate another blogger to carry on this challenge. Accepting the challenge is entirely up to the person nominated, it is not a command.”
Today I have invited Sue Vincent from the Daily Echo to join in the fun. Sue originally hails from my ‘Home From Home”, near the Peak District in the UK. Her posts are always thought-provoking and her photographs are stunning.
My post today is also a contribution to Cee’s Which Way Photo Challenge which I try to take part in each Friday.
This challenge subject is all about capturing the roads, walks, trails, rails, we move from one place to another on. You can walk on them, climb them, drive them, ride them, as long as the way is visible. Any angle of a bridge is acceptable as are any signs.
There is never a topic to this challenge. All you need have is the “way” visible and the main focus of your photo.
Which Way Africa Style (Part Three)
As I’ve mentioned before, we have recently experienced some unseasonal rain storms and I think these first two pictures speak for themselves.
This track, seen in Namibia, seems to lead to nowhere.
I have no explanation for this last one (except perhaps that dead maids are so inconvenient)!
Which Way Africa Style (Part Two)
I took this photo many years ago somewhere in Botswana. It was a very hot day and I wasn’t sure how the shimmering heat would turn out in the picture. This was in the days before digital cameras so had to wait a while for the pictures to be developed – I was quite pleased with the result.
We followed behind this bus for some time while travelling in Mocambique. I felt very sorry for those goats!
I still can’t make sense of this sign, seen in Botswana. I wonder if anyone else can work out what it means?
