Default I guess this isn't everyday life!!!

At the end of our visit to Kawaza after feeding us the villagers then put on a show of traditional dancing and music

I really love this shot although it possibly means more to me than the viewer

guests were invited to join the fun - fortunately for everyone they were happy to let me shoot

the kids danced for us too and this little girl was so cute and had terrific rhythm

That's really the end of our day at the village but I have a batch or so of random images which didn't make the cut in some of my posts but have since grown on me that I will post later this week

Thank you all for looking and all the lovely comments I have received

Sheldon, I get so jealous ever time I see your village pictures and this set is no exception. They are all brilliant and it must have been great to watch and photograph them dancing. All of your captures are so good and I bet it was a hundred times better to be there. I love the last one of the little girl. Thanks for sharing them with us Sheldon.

Dave.

I love the third shot. The colors on his hat, the movement of their hands and their expressions are just wonderful.

Sheldon, these are fantastic... I like the first one too... it shows motion and is very colorful. Nice going and it sure looks like you had a great trip.

I must admit...I get a little more jealous with each set you post. Not only that you got to go to such an amazing place, but that you captured it so well! These are all wonderful shots. Thank you for sharing.
