A couple of months ago I woke up to a loud bang, followed by the siren of a fire engine, which was so deafening it seemed to have woken up right next to me.
The electrical box in the adjacent apartment building exploded and started a fire. The whole commotion had half of Killarney’s inquisitive residents on the street, some in shock and some in awe.
My first instinct was to grab my camera and get a slice of the action – fires have always been a compelling subject matter to me, purely because of the action surrounding it. You have the flames, the heat, the danger. Then you have the firefighters, gearing up, running around, doing all sorts of stuff. And lastly you have the spectators, which are always interesting to watch and to photograph, like these twins, walking past the Killarney fire:
Vundu : Monster Catfish “Vundu” for the unfortunate angler that has a hook up with one of these brutes rest assured will be entertained in a battle of a life time, reaching a size of over two hundred pounds (90kg) these steam trains will have the angler busy for hours.
What is a Vundu you might ask?
The Vundu is part of the catfish family.
Where do you find a Vundu?
Lake Kariba and the Middle Zambezi.
