A Giant Breath of Wind

Early one morning this cloud passed by from the south. The cloud stretched from the horizon out at sea to over the hills on land. It was icy cold as the cloud passed overhead.
To me it looked like a giant was shouting to the world from out at sea.

Diving at Tofo


Diving is really big in Tofo with a number of dive schools operating in the area. The reefs are some of the best in the world and any dive will just about guarantee sightings of Whale Sharks, Dolphins, Turtles among other sea life.

Not for the faint hearted




This surfer was being pulled onto the waves by a friend on a jet ski - really not for the faint hearted!

Man against the Mighty Sea


A local fisherman on the rocks at Tofinho. This man fishes off these rocks everyday to earn his livelihood.

A face could tell a thousand stories

I wonder how many stories this face could tell. I wonder if it would it be stories of joy and happiness or sadness and hardships.

Tofo Moon

The night skies in Tofo are absolutely stunning - there are millions of stars and the milky way spreads across the sky like a cloud - I wish I could get a photo of the stars.

Surfing Dolphins


The dolphins pass by all during the day but every now and again they play around close to the shore. On this day they spent about an hour surfing - it was really cool to watch them having such fun.

My Bush Internet Connection


I currently have a portable internet connection setup on my "Dune Office". The airconditioning and lighting is generally good - hehe.

Although generally reliable and fast we have had server problems for the past week.

After the Storm


This is another photo I took after cyclone Favio - although the sea can be beautiful it can be a destructive force when angered by the wind and other elements.

After the Storm



This photo of the houses at Tofo Beach was taken after cyclone Favio hit Mozambique - the road was washed away and started causing destruction to the small front yards of the properties. Five years ago there were beach bars on the beach side of the road with about 100m of beach in front of them. Now the houses are in jeopardy.
