Five fingers, five guys wearing hats, carrying sticks and looking cool. There’s but one thing to do, take a picture!
I was hitch hiking through the Republic of Transkei, a homeland area for the Xhosa speaking people within South Africa, when I came across these guys who wanted nothing more than to show off for the camera, though others may think differently.
I never felt threatened in my travels, even in the most remote regions, only curiosity and respect for the world and people around me. Maybe I’ve been lucky or maybe I just put out enough good vibes that doors were opened and never shut. I don’t know, I’m not philosophical about it. I just missed those days and looked forward to when circumstances once again bless me with the opportunities to explore beyond my comfort zone. That is when I feel alive!!
