ON THE BEACH OF STONE TOWN

Stone Town or Zanzibar town as you prefer has some short beaches where you can enjoy watching the daily life. Fishermen preparing their boats, boys playing football at sunset, all kind of boats and ships, children jumping and running in and out from the water, foreigner taking a sun bath halv naked meanwhile muslim girls and boys enjoy a walk fully dressed.  It\s a real pleasure just to sit down and watch. Here some of the pictures I took during a week of observation.

This is indeed something crazy we could observe. Big ferry coming to the beach and then trying to load cars.....ehm.... yeah!

Check out the contrast between fore and background!

One of my best shots! The zanzibar DHOW boat in the bakground

DOLPHIN VILLAGE

One of the places and tours we visited during our holidays in Zanzibar was the dolphin village in Kizimkazi. 5.30 in the morning they picked us up from the hotel and we drove from Stone Town to Kizimkazi. Only a few other tourist boats were outside and I am happy for that, because this was one of the few things I disliked of the whole trip. Chasing dolphins to swim with them.
Yes indeed they are free and can actually swim away from us people but I do believe they don't need a bunch of tourist boats chasing them all day long, all year long.
When the captain of our 9 persons little boat said "Now, jump" it was like a race who is first in the water, who is first at swimming, seeing the dolphin.  Yes I saw 2 of them, but I am not proud and I hope if you ever consider going to Zanzibar to not join this tours. I don't think its worse the money.

Grap your equipment before jumping into the boat!

Captain and seaman happy after all of us guests saw the dolphin in the water

Fast they are, so this is all I got from that moment that early morning!

ZANZIBAR BYE BYE

Well save back home after a 2 weeks holidays/job in Zanzibar. Warm weather, happy moments, lots of pictures, wonderful meetings with people.

Of course the difference is huge. Back in Sweden, cold and rain and fever. But here we go I would like to share a first picture with you.

The second week we lived on the West coast in a little place called Bwejuu. There we had a really long white sand beach. Sundays and afternoons children came out to play in the send. Often the older brothers and sister took care of the little ones while parents at work.

Holidays - closed until 17 january 2012

I wish everybody a Happy New Year from the island of Zanzibar, where I am taking pictures for the new calendar 2013!

AFTER CHRISTMAS

Strange enough Christmas feeling never hit me this year. Easter feelings more, if we look at the weather we have had the last days. So it felt kinda normal to go back to work.
The day started with a company portrait and went on with a modelshooting with Gustaf , who for the very first time was in front of a professional camera and never modelled before.
It's always inspiring to see how certain people are made to be in front of the camera!
