More on Madagascar

It´s been a while since I’ve been there, but I just have to share some more pictures of this beautiful, intriguing island in the Indian ocean.

First part was in the south. Tulear with fishermen, water taxis and birds like the beautiful tropicbird.

Then up to Antsokay an Anakao with birds lik the olive bee-eater and magpie-robin.

Further to the Mangily spiny forest, and from there to Zombitse

Sahara dusty sunrise

Every now and again at sunrise I open my curtains and immediately run out. That is: It takes me approximately 5 minutes to tear off my pyjamas, grab my clothes and camera, stumble to the front door and run to the meadows. But even those lousy 5 minutes can be too much, for rapidly the most stunning colours in the sky change to a boring, pale palette. No time to think, just run!


This Monday January 29 I made it. Once again Sahara dust swirled high in the atmosphere, as in March 2022 and February 2021. And like before, the most beautiful colours appeared before the sun peeked above the horizon. Wow!
