Images from Tanzania

En-route to Dodoma from Iringa, we stopped and I bought a straw mat for our home, selected from one of these "basket trees"


We saw many amazingly heavy loads on the backs of bicycles, but this cyclist had one of the tallest loads!


Village view in Rainy Season: lots of planting of seeds takes place in December and the land looks lush as plants start to grow on the local "shamba" (farm)


We met this Massai Herdsman when we stopped by the roadside to eat our sandwiches on our way home from Iringa, to Dodoma, at the end of January. I'm not sure who was most surprised: us to meet a herd of bellowing cows just as we'd arranged the food, the cows who are not used to strange people blocking their route to their water-hole, or the herdsman who was just doing his everyday job, not expecting to see a carload of foreigners in the middle of the bush! However, he was quite happy to pose for this smart photo.
