Man-made . . .
So, let’s stick with waterfalls again today. This is another of my favourite locations, but these falls are the result of quarrying. This brook starts from Great Hill, a local landmark and ends up in the picture-perfect hamlet of White Cottage.

New finds . . .
Although I’ve walked along this path several times, this is the first time I’ve taken a shot of the waterfall. I’ve never quite found an angle I liked and the steep sides make it tricky too to avoid the tree truck. In the end, I’ve persuaded myself that it doesn’t look too bad in the scene after all. What do you think?

Simple autumn pleasures . . .
I’m reverting back to more local views today as the autumnal colours here are just so wonderful at the moment. One of my favourite walks with my camera is a loop around two local reservoirs, through the most picturesque woodland. The route follows Roddlesworth river which has a series of waterfalls. This stretch, just by a stone bridge, is particularly lovely.

Lakeside life . . . Chembe, the village I featured

Lakeside life . . .
Chembe, the village I featured yesterday too, stretched northwards along the shore of Lake Malawi, with its size more evident from a boat trip we took. Further north, the fishing boats made way for pleasure boats, but all along, the locals were busy with lake-related activities, further highlighting its importance to the village.

Malawi fishing . . .
As a land-locked country, Lake Malawi provides an important fishing livelihood in this region. Our beach-side accommodation was next to a very busy fishing village and we were lucky to be given a tour around by a local guide. The shore-line is a hive of activity pretty much all day, with boats constantly heading out or returning to unload their haul, people drying the fish ready for sale and transportation, all the while, kids running around, having fun.

Catching fish. . . One of the most memorable sight

Catching fish. . .
One of the most memorable sights during our stay at the relaxing Chembe Eagle’s Nest was watching sea eagles swoop down to snatch fish from just beneath the surface of Lake Malawi. I’ve not had much experience at all with high speed wildlife photography, but I’m pleased with these action shots that I finally ended up with.

Cheery chitenje colours . . . Our journey to Lake

Cheery chitenje colours . . .
Our journey to Lake Malawi took us along a main road through Malawi’s Mangochi district. We stopped in one town where it happened to be market day. In particular, we were interested to look at the traditional and brightly coloured chitenje fabrics used by women for making clothes. We also came across table linen and bags made from this fabric too.
In the following photos you can see women wearing chitenje clothes and the last shows the two pieces of fabric I chose to buy, I couldn’t resist those orange and blue combinations!

Breakfast safari . . .
Taken on my last safari of my trip, this was a pre-breakfast drive where we came across a pride of lions that had just finished feasting on their earlier kill. As well as our vehicle, there were two others but one in particular, white in colour, was proving to be of great interest to the lions, who came up very close to where we were all parked. Our guide explained the lions were curious and wanted to check it out as white is not a colour you see in the bush. One female even settled down right next to our jeep on the side that gave her a bit of shade from the already warm sun!

It was very special to watch the sunset from our boat safari along the Shire river, although the gentle rocking from the waves made it a little tricky to keep the camera steady!

Let sleeping lions lie . . .
One of those hold your breath moments . . . coming up so close to a pride of lions dozing in the sun was so incredible. In total there were four females with this one male, who looked only marginally interested by our presence. The two females in the next shot seemed far less concerned, to say the least!

Unforgettable elephants . . .
Another animal that the river safari gave us excellent views of was the majestic African elephant. These shots were taken just before dusk when families were calmly grazing in the shallows beside the river banks. Such a privilege to see these magnificent animals at close quarters.
Please swipe for more images - there’s even one grazing under the watchful eye of a mighty sea eagle!
