A Tree Named Kodak
Thursday, September 8, 2005
After le
aving the Marhubi Palace
(such as it was) behind, we drove further out from Stonetown into a very poor-looking rural area. We passed many old wooden shacks and small banana plantations.
We also saw many women walking along the side of the road dressed in very brightly coloured dresses and scarves--yellow, orange, green, red!
Back in Stonetown, the majority of women seemed to mostly dress in black robes with only a coloured head-veil, but the women in the country here could be seen as vivid exclamations of colour from a long ways away.
We stopped at one point to photograph a distinctive palm tree: its trunk had a pronounced squiggle to it. Ali laughed and said that this particular tree gets photographed so much that its nickname is "Kodak".
Some curious children watched as we took pictures.
