We have been for a walk around this community with a camera. Not the wisest of things to do but to show people back in England what it is really like here is difficult, even with photos, because they only appeal to our visual sense, and the noise and smell is difficult to portray. When I greet someone with a handshake and feel their rough skin against the soft palm of my own hand I have wondered how to describe how that actually feels.....I can´t!
When taking the photos of people we said that we would print them off to give to people in the community so they can have a photo of themselves to cherish. Not many people here have a photo of themselves so this is quite sort-after. You may think that a huge gallery of photos should follow these quick comments but I do not intend to "blog" many of these pictures, rather reveal them in a church presentation or 2 in the UK.
Taking photos here is dangerous and there are many places which we would not photograph but here´s one quick photo of the community where we live:
