thx for watching and thx the comments! One doesn't have to be pro to take beautiful photos down in Africa. Everything is so colorful, the nature is awesome, the people is happy and the light is most often just perfect.

mello: Planning on going to Ethiopia perhaps?

Gorgeous thread. Everytime I pick up a copy of National Geographic I wish I saw something like this. Your photos are so incredibly lush but unfortunately, it looks like you might never top this journey. Fun might be over for you, you've peaked.

edit: i thought National Geographic before I even read any of the other comments. Maybe its just the whole African photography that we all associated with the yellow margined magazine.

That is exactly what it brought to my mind, and yes these are better.

Great thread; thanks for sharing those beautiful pictures. It is heart warming to see something positive - the smiles, the colors, the beauty - coming out of Africa.

TheMeltyMan >> damn! I better stop photographing then.
