Singida, Tanzania

a great day spent amongst the beautiful granite boulders; possible first ascents of routes were numerous; copious local spectators observed the trials; equatorial sun and lake breeze counterbalancing the extremes of their potential, creating a serene space for being in the outdoors, connecting with surroundings; fingertips worn pink, close in hue to the setting sun, as I sit on a giant boulder watching the local boys play a game of simple soccer on the dry lakebed, and the migratory birds flutter over the shallow, smooth water.
