This sign was spotted in the Zambian town Kitwe. Let's start a series of African signs...
I can not decide between colour and black and white version. Which one do you prefer?

Vervet Monkey mother with albino baby
Vervet Monkeys (Chlorocebus pygerythrus) are very cute creatures. It is always fun to watch them and interact with them. This unusual albino baby lives in forest surrounding Victoria Falls in Zambia.

Eastern Cataract of Victoria Falls
The Eastern Cataract of Victoria Falls at dry season with just very few streams of Zambezi water falling into a chasm of 100 metres deep formed by basalt rock.

Victoria Falls on Zambezi River (border between Zambia and Zimbabwe)
Victoria Falls is one of the most spectacular natural World Heritage sites (inscribed on the World Heritage List in December 1989).
Mosi-oa-Tunya is the name in local language that means “the smoke that thunders”.
This photo of the Eastern Cataract on the Zambian side was taken at the beginning of the rainy season (November 2007), but the Zambezi River is still not full. By the mid of that sunny hot day most of the streams you see here have vanished - amazing transformation. I will post more pictures here.

Last trio
They are like three soldiers holding the autumn fort against invading winter. Tired but still standing... Unfortunately, they lost the battle...

Autumn mosaic
More of the fall colors: beech (Fagus sylvatica) branches with blue sky on the background. I think these are the last leaves of this season... it's getting really cold and windy here.

Autumn colour splash - Beech (Fagus sylvatica) leaves
Yesterday was a wonderful autumn day: bright sun, crispy blue sky and autumn colours of nature. I decided to take a walk in the near by forest reserve with my camera. It was fantastic splash of bright colours. You will see more here...

Autumn forest
This wonderful forest is just steps away from the place I live. Everything is so close in Switzerland. I really enjoy walks through this forest along a small river. This photo was taken last week-end.

Rock Hyrax: the smallest elephant?
Tuesday 11 September 2007
Rock Hyrax (Procavia capensis)
This cute creature is called Cape Hyrax, or Rock Hyrax (Procavia capensis). It looks a little bit like a guinea pig with short ears and tail. They are also known as dassies in South Africa.
This animal has a bigger relative in the fauna kingdom. Who do you think? Well... an elephant. Yes, ELEPHANT!!! Hyraxes are stated to be the closest living relatives of elephants. These small animals (most measure between about 30 and 70 cm long and weigh between 2 and 5 kg) share numerous features with elephants, such as toenails, excellent hearing, sensitive pads on their feet, small tusks-like teeth, good memory, high brain functions and others. I have to say, I really like this theory.
Hyraxes retain a number of early mammal characteristics. In particular they have poorly developed internal temperature regulation. They deal with this "inconvenience" by huddling together for warmth, and by basking in the sun like this fellow on the rocks of Hermanus in South Africa.

Adventure boat safari in Iguassu Falls, Brazil
The image in the previous post was shot from above. This photo is from almost under... under water. They take you on a boat trip right under Iguassu waterfalls. No matter how much plastic you wrap around, you get wet.... really wet... it's a lot of water falling from the sky on your head! Getting a decent picture without a waterproof case is quite a challenge. You definitely will remember this adventure trip on Iguassu (Iguazu, Iguacu) river in the Brazilian part of the Iguassu National Park (Parque Nacional do Iguacu).

Iguassu Falls, Brazil, Argentina
I had a chance to visit Iguassu Falls last week. These amasing waterfalls are shared by Brazil and Argentina along the Iguassu River (sometimes spelled Iguazu or Iguacu Falls) and surrounded by tropical forests of Iguassu National Park. The system consists of about 270 falls along 2.7 kilometres of the river.
You will see more images of this spectacular place.
