This land is for you and me

This photo is a reflection on glass
Back home, there were countless times when I was often asked if I still know the color of the sky.  Those were the days when I leave very early for and very late from work.  Having left that state and being now in the heart of the vast and unspoiled continent of Africa,
Equator line in Kasese, Uganda
I can see very clearly and with profound admiration not only the sky but all of God's creations.
On the first day, He created Night and Day.

On the second day, the Sky and the Sea.

The fragrant vanilla plant












On the third day, Land and Vegetation.

The mysterious Rwenzori or Mountains of the Moon

Full moon in Kasese; 720 kms. from Gulu
Day break aboard a Post Bus for a 350 kms. trip



























On the fourth day, the Stars, Sun and Moon.







On the fifth day, Sea creatures, Fish and Birds.

On the sixth day, Animals and Mankind.

Around this time last year, our family had hamburgers at a diner, to jointly celebrate the birthdays of Charlie and Mia. 
The descendants of Adam and Eve


For now, I will happily celebrate their birthdays in solitude.  I offer them a toast of my new found drink - Amarula.

Amarula is a cream liqueur manufactured in South Africa.  It comes from the fruit of the African marula tree.  Elephants enjoy eating the fruit and having too much of it makes them tipsy - some people say.
Happy birthday

  1. Thanks so much for this - one of your best yet, and quite useful for sharing a new creation story. Even in pictures, your Africa emits such powerful vibrations of magic and beauty, affirms itself as truly the cradle of human emergence, and leaves no doubt how it is the crystal-clear mirror of the whole cosmos.May those descendants of Adam and Eve pictured in this blog live up to the origins they still must visit sometime.
