Gisenyi-3


December is a nice sunny month in these parts. Swimming in lake Kivu was fun. Painting this view from the resort Kivu Serena was even more fun. Was rewarded with free beer by the management!!

Gisenyi-2


This roadside foliage in a resort called Yekes gave me another subject for my watercolours

Gisenyi


Gisenyi is a nice little town in Rwanda. It is dotted with resorts along lake Kivu. On a visit to a small resort called Paradise I came across this dense foliage near the entrance. It made a nice subject for this watercolour.

Arrival in Congo

Our arrival in DRC at Goma was heralded by the majestic view of the Nyaragongo volcano with smoke bellowing out of the crater. An automatic respect for nature developed. Probably it was inspired by fear.
