aka Ishtar News
The rainy season is a cool thing. There is so much action in the sky all the time! I am pretty sure that a professional photographer would have a field week just walking around and documenting different angles of the landscape!
As for myself, I was having fun the other day coming down from the field […]

Camels are very cool beings and one of the animals that amazes me the most. Especially when you look up close, you wonder how they’re put together! As for my experience with camel riding, check out the following posts:

I’m always talking about heading into the bush but rarely show any pictures, so I thought I would rectify that this time and introduce you to the beautiful Zinder trails! First up is the trail to the village of Kasheni - a favourite of Sahara’s!

In addition to the hanza beans (whose fruits are […]
One might have thought that the rainy season would be more comfortable than warm season, but so far, it has not. When the sun shines, which is does quite a lot of the time, the heat is almost as bad as during the last part of warm season, except it’s a humid warmth.
The heavy clouds […]
I was waiting for ages for the rainy season to begin, and for the past few weeks, it’s been so hot that I thought it would never start. Then finally, a horizon full of heavy clouds appeared and it finally started to rain for real!
It rained for a whole night and half a day, which […]
As you probably all know by now, I love the Zinder bush. I love the contrast between the yellow sand, the red mud, the green trees and the often so blue sky. It’s serene and I can watch it for ages.
There’s something precious about the expanse, the ancient rocks and the handful of villages situated […]
