Dead Dog Blog and the Wind

I tried to make more than a gratuitous roadkill picture but not sure I did.


I actually spent more time recording this fellow's flute playing and only photographed a bit, still experimenting with my G10's audio recorder which I don't think is all that bad.

Along with the There has been increasing residential construction around the Marginal, Maputo's coastal road, on wetlands. The feudal attempts to save the coastline is essentially to protect the road and this development.
