Amazing image...looks like a great thundering wall of water rushing onwards. I presume they must be clouds but they have the most incredible shape and patterns. I have never seen anything like it. Is this an occurrence you have witnessed before? Beautiful shot. 8

Superb portrait of this young African boy chewing on a piece of sugar cane. I am almost sure this was taken somewhere in Natal, South Africa. On the south Coast there, maybe around Illovo or Issipingo.
Of course the worlds largest producers of sugar cane are Brazil and India so this shot could just as well have been taken in Brazil somewhere as they also have a large African population.7
