Africa photos - taken by you

Ameriscot · Apr 19, 2015

Merlin has some photos of Morocco as do I, and I have Uganda and a few from South Africa. If anyone has any photos of anywhere in Africa, please feel free to share.

Uganda

Ugandan daughter that I often mention - this is her at university graduation 2 years ago with her 'original' mother - we are co-mothers.

Wonderful wildlife photos Ameriscot! You're daughter and her mother are beautiful women, I wish your daughter well.

Great pictures! I've heard the sky in SA is a gorgeous blue, almost beyond description.

Very nice photos.

Ameriscot · Apr 20, 2015

Thanks! Don't remember the sky in SA as that was a short visit in 2006 but Uganda has very blue skies!

Met daughter in 2008 and helped sponsor her for university. Had no idea she would become like our own daughter. She has her third temporary work permit in Scotland now and is coming for a visit this week.

:coolpics: Great photos Annie, the gorge jump looks too scary for me. :eewwk: did you do it? I will sort out some Morocco ones soon, I think most are on my laptop in Russia, but there are some here somewhere.

No way! Husband, his daughter and her fiance all did it. Too scary for me.

I have finally tracked down some photos of Morocco these are some street scenes in Marrakesh.

....and some more

..and of course some food

Ameriscot · May 24, 2015

Wonderful photos, Merlin! Such bright colours and I love the doorways there. When we went to the sook we had a tour guide. Whenever I tried to take photos of all the beautiful fresh food and spices, the clerk would expect a tip. I stopped taking photos.

Thanks Annie, I had forgotten how much I loved Morocco, magical things seemed to happen there, and I always felt safe somehow even in the non touristy areas.

Ameriscot · May 24, 2015

I'd like to return and see the 'real' Morocco. Agadir was really a place for tourists. Although we did get that nice tour of the Antiatlas mountains.

I see they use coffee filters to hold food. Interesting. Thanks for posting.

Ha ha ha , those are not coffee filters, silly, they are cupcake thingies.

Great pictures AS and Merlin! Very colorful, love the textiles. Thanks.

Thanks Cookie! The photos I've posted of Uganda were from our visit in 2013. These are just a few of the photos I took when we lived there from 2007-09.

This looked a bit dangerous to me.
