Claudio,
absolute great pictures.Thank you very much, that you share these rare documents with us.
Here a sukuma dance as it is today.

But he rythm goes straight into my bloodstream

Fine settimana piacevole e saluti da Monaco di Bavaria

Thanks for some really neat photos.

I have heard/read that the grasshopper swarms were horrible. Could you tell us more about them?

Really enjoy the newspapers posted on the barbershop walls.

@Wheels the grasshoppers are huge flocks that can even darken the sunlight. These grasshoppers when they stop shave everything, they also eat saplings for 2-3 years old nothing remains of them. Ciao Claudio

I have seen them years ago in the south of Morocco, scary they behave as Claudio says.

We called them locusts.

On the left is Fred Bear (aka Papa Bear) in 1965 on his third African safari for Lion and Cape Buffalo in Mozambique. Have seen the guy on the right before but can't place a name on his face.

It's Capstick in the flesh!
