Kind of blue!
But by no means the blues.. Oh no, this is the Seychelles.
As you see I have done some street photography and visited the fish market in the capital Victoria.
One picture shows the old chinese store Sham Peng Tong that’s “been around for ages”
The photographer himself also gets the opportunity to pose beside the blue rental jeep

Five years with Salseras!
For five years I have followed Salseras and their different settings.
Not many realise the effort and daily training for months that lies behind a show with this highly synchronized group. Adriana Mendes has been the prime mover of the entertainers!
Humor, professionalism and hot rhythms have been the characteristics when these skilled artists have entered the scene!
29 March-1 of April (2012) will be like christmas again for the salsa aficionados when the annual Scandinavian Salsa Congress takes place in Gothenburg. If you´r in town.. be there!

Every time I visit Viñales in Pinar del Rio, Cuba, I make an excuse to pass by the house of Demetrio.. He is a likeable man!
Going for octopus!
I met Adrian Willington a couple of weeks ago when taking a bicycle tour around the Seychelle island of La Digue. He was walking along the sea-shore carrying a big octopus and of course my curiosity was awaken
He told me that he was working as a security guard at night but during the day he used to go fishing for octopus and had done so since he was young.
After chatting with him for a while I asked if I could go with him the next time he was going fishing. That’s okay, he said. Two days later he came by the guesthouse where I was staying and a little later we took off by bicycle towards the beach where he usually goes fishing.
His tools are a bit dated. The flippers are not in best shape and there is a big hole in his wetsuit. He uses a couple of metal sticks to dig out the octopuses! It’s a great experience to accompany and observe the Seychellois diver. We are swimming around a pretty extensive area during more or less 3 hours!
When Adrian spots his prey he is capable of diving down to ten meters depth and stay down for a couple of minutes.
The area where we hunt is also a superb snorkel spot and the place is steaming with fishes of all colors and shape. I see a couple of sea turtles, stingrays and so on.
Adrian says that he almost daily sees sharks when his out but makes no drama about that!
