African Queen
Uploaded: November 25, 2005
This beautiful African performer had my attention and I had hers. Once she saw me shooting, she played up to my camera and I was in photography heaven for a few minutes. Her graceful moves and facial expressions were full of emotion and she did not speak a word as part of her performance. Since her performance was centered around her moves and feelings, it was not possible to find out which country she was from. She had a fascinated audience including kids.

Thank you too Mary. You response must have come just as I was responding to Milan. She was the highlight of my short vacation. I'm glad I had my camera. #2118945Guy D. Biechele November 25, 2005
