Dag-Rune ZThe Lamidat drummer<br> <br> During a visit to the Lamido, the regional leader in Ngaoundéré, me and my travel companions were entertained by a group of musicians attached to his court.<br> The drummer made a lasting impression.<br> <br> Lamidat Ngaoundéré<br> Ngaoundéré is the largest city in the north of Cameroon, and it have all the facilities you expect from a regional capital. In addition to the Lamidat, there is a university, a big hospital, malls and markets, several mosques and churches and religious missionary stations run by Norwegian Lutherans, US evangelicals and Catholics.<br> The main industry in the area is keeping livestock, meaning large amounts of cattle everywhere. And some rather nice street food vendors with fresh meat on the menu.<br> <br> Good relations cross religions<br> Norwegian Lutheran missionaries started out their activity here in 1923, building the first hospital in 1925. We spent some nice days as guests in the Norwegian missionary enclosure.<br> Their good relationship with the local rulers was key to get an audience with the RH Lamido and visit to the government quarters, the Lamidat. The Lamido ranks at the level of Emir, or Governor, in their region.<br> <br> <a href="https://www.britannica.com/place/Ngaoundere" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.britannica.com/place/Ngaoundere</a><br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/cameroon?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#cameroon</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/kamerun?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#kamerun</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/citylife?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#citylife</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/music?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#music</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/drummer?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#drummer</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/happy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#happy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/lamidat?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#lamidat</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/lamido?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#lamido</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/2015CE?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#2015CE</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Nikon?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Nikon</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/D800?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#D800</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Nikkor?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Nikkor</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/85mm?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#85mm</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/f14?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#f14</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Ngaoundéré?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Ngaoundéré</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Haut?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Haut</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Plateau?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Plateau</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Ngaoundere?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Ngaoundere</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/audience?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#audience</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/music?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#music</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/musician?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#musician</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/drummer?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#drummer</a>
Dag-Rune ZTomtit Ngirungiru on a stick in Rakiura<br> <br> Tomtit balancing twigs, break and curiosity<br> The Ngirungiru, or Tomtit, is a very small passerine bird in the Robins-family Petroicidae.<br> With a maximum length of 12 cm and a weight of 11 gram, it is basically the size of two Ping-Pong balls with wings and tail.<br> <br> Frenetic enthusiastic<br> It is also very curious and enthusiastic. Meaning that when it decides you are not a threat when you meet one up close in the forest, it will follow you along for some time. But in a frenetic pattern, jumping between the trees, branches, trail and back up again.<br> <br> And then maybe, maybe, just be still for a couple of seconds where you get a reasonable shot. Like this one in the forest at Rakiura, Aotearoa.<br> <br> There are five subspecies of Tomtits, and they have different names in Māori. The South Island and Rakiura Stewart Island variant is called Ngirungiru. The North Island is called Miromiro. And as a loveable little fellow, there are several other Māori and English name for it. Tomtit is an adaptable feather ball, and lives well with most of the changes made to the biodiversity of New Zealand.<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/2015CE?src=hash"

Dag-Rune ZTern with catch of the day over elvish landscape<br> <br> There are several reasons why New Zealand are used for adventure films.<br> <br> Light and colours are two obvious reasons.<br> Flora, fauna and landscape are others.<br> <br> Personally, when watching the Lord of the Rings movie trilogy, I am a bit disappointed they do not really shows how awesome New Zealand is.<br> <br>
