Por do sol na ilha de Inhaca - Moçambique

Sunset on Inhaca island - Mozambique

More from Mozambique, and more to come, I shot 7 rolls of 36 exp. in one month and a half; sound quite a bit, but if I would have brought digital would have been much higuer. This time I did not shoot many candids; usually I would ask people to be photographed and most of the time with the help of a big smile worked ; )

First shots from Mozambique. This time I brought with me the Canon A1, so only film, I still do not know what to think about it. The black and white shots are ok, the color ones... mhhh

Something pretty special.
The first photo I'm posting without titling it first, but I can't wait a month until I can afford my new computer before posting this.
Actually the special thing is that in this area of southwestern Rwanda this huge epiphytic fern is growing lithophytically on a vertical cliff wall (the photo is angled slightly from below).

This fern is probably native to most of highland tropical subsaharan Africa, south as far as Dondo in Mozambique, north as far as Sudan, west as far as Guinea, but excluding the low-lying Congo basin. In Rwanda these plants even grow in the capital city of Kigali, distantly high up on the old trees that line the old colonial roads. It is generally a high-level epiphyte in dry forest, at altitudes from about 350m up.
I have gone through all the observational/collection records at the GBIF, including under its synonyms P. angolense & P. velutina, and this is actually the only record I know of proving a Rwandan distribution of this species. The countries it is known to be native to are listed as tags to the right of the photograph. I used the GBIF, but also the origins of the original types used to describe it and its synonyms (Kew, Aluka), and also the observational records in Kew's Flora Zambesiaca.
In these countries a distribution is to be expected, but I can not attest at this time: Ghana, Togo, Benin, and Equatorial Guinea.

Here's the site that helped me to ID this: www.platycerium.co.za/p__elephantotis.htm
