Top 11 pics of 2011 (post 1 of 9)
With 2011 now behind us, I have scoured my pics from the year now gone by to find my favorite 11 images (excluding those I took in Germany as that doesn’t go along with my “normal” life here in the Mozambique and Malawi area of southeastern Africa). I will post images by the order in which they were shot in time.
These three images are grouped together as all were captured while staying on Zomba Plateau, Malawi exactly one year ago as I was recovering from my most serious of a string of malaria bouts. One of the new toys I was playing with at the time was a closeup lens kit that allowed me to crawl onto my bellow (nearly) and explore a whole new micro world full of insects and flowers. All three of these images were included in my 2012 “Malawi and Mozambique | Nature” calendar for sale on RedBubble.
The River
I took some South African visitors out to the nearby waterfall this past Friday. We didn’t stay nearly long enough, but the sight was stunning anyway. Here’s a few favorite shots.

Contemplating the sky
“Rest is not idleness, and
to lie sometimes on the grass on a summer day listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is hardly a waste of time.” –John Lubbock
Near Golomoti, Malawi
This past week our family returned from Lilongwe, Malawi’s capitol city, and drove down the escarpment leading from Dedza toward Golomoti, then on towards Monkey Bay. It’s a fantastic new road that seems rarely used which is exactly why like to take it. Naturally, the escarpment itself offers premium opportunities for making fantastic landscape shots. Being that it is now rainy season, the green is just spectacular!
