The colors of Congo captivate me, from the brilliant green hills contrasted with latte-colored rivers, to the bright colored cloth and blue doors against brown mud huts. Even the dark-chocolate skin and warm earth reds make for rich visuals. Here are some photos from in and around Bunia.
Hey Lu:
Love the shot of the woman with the tape measure!!
And the guy with his wellies and radio.
Hope you are having fun!
Hugs,
Barbara
Thanks Barb! I am. But I’m leaving soon, you know. Leaving Congo in less than 2 weeks, and will be in Uganda for a job in November, then “home.” Would love to see you again, or at least talk. Much love!
I love the little feet sticking out in the first photos! I almost didn’t notice them! And I want to know how they tie the babies on! It might be nice not to have something over my shoulders, but I haven’t ever seen that here in the US!
They’re all good of course, but the girl in yellow with the spinach-like veggies on her head is my favorite.
What beautiful people!!!
Great pictures. A look into your lives and experiences in Congo. Tres bien!
I liked the sequence about Ben. Good on you guys for helping him out. During my childhood in Kenya, our family helped out a gardener who is very influencial in Kibera today. You never know!
I’m a new fan of your hubby’s blog. Both are great and bring rural, true Africa to light. So much still the same. TIA. Blessings, Bruce
