A few recent ones

Blew the dust off the camera this week to go out and take a few pics. Tuesday's storm knocked the entire city to its knees, roads flooded, houses washed away - So many people with so little have lost so much, its sad to see.



An antique globe and a familer place on it - thanks to the storm we were out of power and the usually bland looking globe took on a warm feel to it in the candle light





Sunset over the lake, Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso




Puddles on the road




Silver gray skies




It seemed like almost everyone came out to collect the sand and pebbles washed up.

  1. What a stunning collection of photos you've got there! That scarlet-sunset is brilliant.. and can't imagine those are puddles, they so look like mirrors!

    And sorry to hear about the storm. But it's also good to see everyone putting all their strengths and efforts together.
