I see we have just clocked up page 200 on this thread - well done all! Today I'm moving on to Cape Verde and starting with some flowers and other odds and ends. We were supposed to go to two of the islands but thanks to rough weather on the way only managed one stop, Mindelo on Sao Vicente, a shame because I think the other, at the capital, Praia, would have been more interesting. The islands were Portuguese until about forty years ago when they became independent and they have suffered since then. The infrastructure is lacking and they have suffered famine, mainly due to drought from lack of rainfall. They are supposed to be an up and coming holiday destination but I don't think it's penetrated to the island we visited. We saw one new holiday development but it looked a bit half hearted. The climate is hot and humid every single day with very little rainfall and the island was very barren. Again the islands are volcanic and for those of you who remember my pictures of the Svalbard archipelago near the North Pole - the mountains are like that but without any snow! It was a Sunday when we visited so most of the streets in my pics look fairly deserted but we were assured that on other days the place is thronging with life. Anyway, here goes...

Today in Pictures. a bit of a moist outing.
1. The end of the rainbow was just behind that wall. The wet bit is Jackhouse Reservoir. 2. Walking up to the waterfall, I noticed someone under the overhang, certain parts of my body tightened. 3. I hope I wont get probed. 4. The point at which I do a left turn. 5. One of the streams that feed into the reservoir. 6. Almost at the edge of the woods. 7. At the edge. 8. Another of the streams that runs through the woods. 9. Looking toward Pendle Hill, the colours are the sun reflecting off the rain in the clouds. The sun is behind me, a long way behind, but behind never the less. 10. Looking off to the right of my position. |

If you download it and look at it full size (instead of thumbnail) it's quite spectacular! |
