I love the way this shows an island with water running through it - in the middle of a river (or estuary), on an island, in the Indian Ocean

Yes, I know the background looks like daytime, but this is what you get when you leave the shutter open for a long time. The dark shape in the centre is a hut made from a bush wood frame and panels of plaited palm leaves (mukuti).

At the end of a long dirt road, Charawe, Zanzibar

after a jolly long cycle ride along a jolly hot coralite road in the midday heat we reach the humble but happening village of Charawe - "just like Zanzibar used to be 20 years ago" - except this is Zanzibar today! ...and then a few hundred metres further and we are at the end of the road on the edge of the delightful Chwaka Bay (at high tide). Time for a rest in the shade of the baobab.
