Dirk Van der Herten Posted September 18, 2018 Share #18089 Posted September 18, 2018 Soantanana, Madagascar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted September 18, 2018 Share #18090 Posted September 18, 2018 Dirk - I shouldn't be surprised that you got it down to the town - I figured Madagascar would be as far as anyone would get. Get thee to Pierre Marcolini for your reward. Soantanana has a unique culture. In a village of not much over 600 people, 600 of them are of an unusual Protestant faith. We arrived midmorning on a Sunday specifically to observe their church service. A few minutes before that most of the 600 hundred arrived en masse singing a hymn in Malagasy, in five or more part harmony, perfectly balanced, and with no choir leader in sight. Many people greeted us, and they assigned the village seamstress (at the right edge of the 4th photo, in which Barbara is giving people Polaroid photos of themselves) to be our caretaker. After the service, with some of the most beautiful singing you can imagine, we interacted again with the villagers, and marched along with the mayor to an area where, in the tradition of Jesus, they washed our feet, much as the Bible sited Jesus did for his disciples. After that we marched to the mayor's house where we dined with his family and other outsiders while the villagers sang to us from the outside. (We thought it was uncouth of the other outsiders to arrive after the service, and then participate in the rest of the activities.) In those few hours we got to feel very close to several of the people. It was an unforgettable experience, and worth the long and confusing drive to find the village. Your turn.

Dirk Van der Herten Posted September 18, 2018 Share #18091 Posted September 18, 2018 Thanks, Stuart, these Marcolini’s are going to be finished in no time. It was not an easy location, but after one of your last posts it became obvious your photos were taken in Madagascar.The cross on the building, the altar inside and the white clothes of the celebrants then led me to the Disciples of the white shepherds of Soatanana. This time an easy one for a change. Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

a.j.z Posted September 18, 2018 Share #18092 Posted September 18, 2018 I assume that this is a trap and we are not in The Netherlands ;-) Although finding a specific windmill in The Netherlands maybe is even more difficult than looking for it elsewhere ...

stuny Posted September 18, 2018 Share #18096 Posted September 18, 2018 Thank you, dirk. Let's try this one, partly because I was blown away by the woman dancer up front. If you'[re very nice I'll post other images of her. Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

stuny Posted September 19, 2018 Share #18098 Posted September 19, 2018 Andreas - I understand why you thought that, but no, it's a bit more obscure. I'm not certain how many people even know there is an annual February festival at this location. The location is west of Rio. Of course this gives me an opportunity to post photos of Vai (the dancer's name). Her partner's name is Kimi. I have more photos of her, too. Welcome, dear visitor!

stuny Posted September 20, 2018 Share #18099 Posted September 20, 2018 We know this is west or Brazil (of course, so are Japan and China). Where else can we be? Perhaps I'll do another photo hint later today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
