Welcome

My blog highlights some of my past experiences in travel from 1978 to the present. Some of the photos are scanned slides particularly the ones of Africa. The balance were taken with my Nikon digital camera and a variety of lenses. Enjoy all you see and comments are welcome.

The Rift Valley & Levy Home, 1978

The Rift Valley is one of Kenya's provinces outside Nairobi. It is dominated by the Great Rift Valley which passes through it and gives the province its name. One of the most stunning parts of the valley is the Levy Home shown below.

The Maasai, 1978

The life of the Maasai is dominated by their herds of their cattle and livestock. Their diet is based on milk and meat from their livestock. At one time, the Maasai were feared as ruthless conquerors and cattle rustlers who invaded other tribal areas in search of bigger grazing land and more cattle. The Maasai are also famous for drinking a mixture of cattle blood and milk during ceremonial rites. Their rites and traditional ceremonies are taken very seriously, and it is not common to allow outsiders to attend. Elders play a very important role in the community and society at large.

Paying the Bill



That was taken just milliseconds after Leigh realized that he was paying for the meal and just milliseconds before he began to choke. Notice the transition from awareness to panic.
