We chose to take the scenic route to Mutare from Juliasdale! This pic (below) was taken soon after we turned off onto the Penhalonga Rd.
Love the lone store in the distance.
Had to take a “nature break” and found these flowers!
This pic (below) was taken just after we left La Rochelle
Dontcha love the tree?
Farming area near Mutare town
I like farming area near Mutare town, was this taken recently?
Yes, it was taken on the 15th July 2016
These are truly glorious pictures – such beautiful, heart-stopping scenery.
Thanks – we were very lucky to get these pics – we were up in the Eastern Highlands for several weeks and had a few pretty dismal days where it rained and the mist hung low! Not good for photography. This day was our “off” day and luckily for us it was lovely
Lovely stuff Frankie. It’s like I’m there 🙂
Thanks – I thought of you several times when I came across some odd looking plant! Probably something awfully common! The vegetation is very different to what I’m used to here in Mat’land
Thank you, Frankie – just gorgeous! I lived in Umtali from 1964 – 73 and it will always have a very special place in my heart.
very lovely,wishing to be there one of the days!
Well worth a visit
Its the first time Ive ever been here – we went to Chimanimani three years ago – also when we were working up this end of the country and it made me want to come back! Mutare has grown, according to people who used to live there. Thank you for your visit and comment
Really nice , it looks so calm 🙂
Yes its lovely, the weather was kind to us too!
Oh! My goodness you have really captured the beauty of the eastern highlands.
I was born in “Umtali” & my father bought land near the Pungwe Gorge (Brackenridge) & built a beautiful country cottage there near the water. We drove out there so many times so I almost know that road backwards! Beautiful. Thank you. Valerie
You lucky things – what a wonderful place to live
What a lovely selection – the one with the house and hills my best. Oh the dusty road…sigh . The thin tar one….sigh xx
The road had its challenges! Its quite wet there and as a result the potholes form very easily – I LOVE the one with the tree!
Do you share your camera settings?
I think they are embedded in the pics – let me know which one you are interested in and I can post it. I do some post shooting tweeking – dont know if that shows on the settings
I like your mid-tones, with sky not being blown out. I live at 6200 ft. And have trouble with blown out skies.
Great photos, also remindes me of my time in Nyasaland/Malawi.
Ive never been there – would love to go!
Most beautiful photos of a most beautiful country!! Miss my Africa so much.
Yes it is!Thanks for the visit and comment
Thanks for sharing – we really miss the place – all the lovely memories that you pictures bring back are priceless. xx
It’s a pleasure – and thank you for visiting my blog and making a comment. We spent more than three weeks in the area, so there will be many more photos!
I like the first two photos the best.
Taken in the morning!!! The later ones were taken at about three in the afternoon
