ARGENTINA Through Harold’s Lens:
The race is on
Here comes pride up the backstretch
Heartaches a-going to the inside
My tears are holding back
And tryin’ not to fall
My heart’s out of the running
True love’s scratched for another’s sake
The race is on and it looks like heartaches
And the winner loses all.
Thank you for the words and music, legend George Jones.
“Your Next Morsel”
ARGENTINA Through Harold’s Lens:
The giant, ugly cockroach slowly and quietly crawled up the tall wall.
Six hairy legs sensitively touched the pebbled concrete.
The weaving antennae gave the insect an extra sense of smell.
His compound eyes watched me from behind his body.
The bloated abdomen dragged on the painted surface.
Fantasy?
Yes!
Reality?
The cockroach on the wall
Logo for an art gallery.
Only in Buenos Aires!
“Ring Of Thorns”
A
TANZANIA Through Harold’s Lens:
550 Pounds Of Hungry Meat Eating Beast.
4’ feet high.
8’ feet long.
Kills by strangulation.
Eats 15’ pounds of raw meat a day.
Stalks your livestock and family outside the open door of your hut every night.
You protect yourself from the Lion with what nature provides. Cutting branches from acacia trees, with their 3” long thorns that do not bend, the Maasai weave a 6’ tall thorn fence around their villages on the Serengeti.
“Prey”
TANZANIA Through Harold’s Lens:
Slowly our Land Rover rolled down the dusty dirt road through the Serengeti of Maasai country. As we were meandering around a curve I spotted a herd of sheep and goats.
Then I looked behind them.
Spotting this little Maasai carrying the baby lamb all alone on the veld I called “halt”.
Leaping from the Land Rover, I ran about 10 yards, kneeled down and fired my Nikon.
“Predator”
TANZANIA Through Harold’s Lens:
In the dark of night.
From five miles away.
Maasai villagers hear the loud roar of the male lions.
Weighing over 500 pounds, a man-eater is possibly stalking the Maasai village.
While lions do not usually hunt people, man-eating behavior in rural areas of the Serengeti increased greatly from 1990 to 2004.
Lions attacked 815 people killing and eating 563.
