This is a story about TCHUKUDU. What is tchukudu? It is an phenomenon that exists only in Congolese province of North Kivu. It is an testament to indomitability and pragmatic ingenuity of Congolese people.
For example, let's say that you live in an village in North Kivu and you have to bring 300 kg of potatoes to the market in Goma, but you don't have an pickup track. You could use a motorcycle, but you don't have one either. Maybe you could borrow a bicycle, but nobody you know have one. What do you do?? Well, you pick up a few pieces of wood and you build yourself an tchukudu!! That's right!
Tchukudu is kind of wooden bike or scooter that is capable of carrying up to half a ton of cargo or several people.
For some reason, I was fascinated with them when I was in the area in June, they look so psychedelic, weird, medieval and so damn cool! And they are everywhere. In Goma (provincial capital), they mix about with cars, motorcycles and pedestrians; in the villages around Goma they are often the only form of transport you see.
Some people build their own. Others buy them. They go from around $50 for a basic model, to up to $100 for a fancy one.
I have seen people pushing them heavily loaded from their villages for as much as 30 km to Goma market and back.
Talking about toughness! Since the area around Goma is hilly, one can see guys speeding downhill with heavily loaded tchukudus with such a ease, grace, nonchalance and control, it is fascinating to watch.
There are even tchukudu taxis, hauling around people and goods. Tchukudus have lifted many people out of poverty in this region. There is an saying often heard in North Kivu:
"if you marry tchukudu driver, you will never die of hunger."
As it can be seen from people's expressions in some of these photos, many folks here really don't like to be photographed.
I mostly always respect that, so many people in these photos didn't know that they were being photographed, because I used very long telephoto lens and was able to shoot from considerable distance. However, it was impossible for me not to be spotted almost immediately by everybody, since everywhere I went I was the only "mzungu" (white man) in the area. I have been in many African countries, but I have never seen people responding to "mzungu" so strongly and emotionally as in Congo, both in positive and negative ways.
In some of the more remote villages, children would often run away from me, especially if I would point my big telephoto lens in their direction. Some would drop to the ground and cover their heads. And there were so many children everywhere, in a village of 10 houses there would be 80 children running around. If I would point my camera in direction of adults, they would often get very angry. I had to be careful with that.
In Goma, my favorite fun was to simply walk around and watch lively chaos of Congo unfold around me. There are a few places in the world that have such a intense energy and even some sort of charizma. I had so much fun there.
Gloucester Cathedral is one of England's finest churches, a masterpiece of medieval architecture consisting of a uniquely beautiful fusion of Norman Romanesque and Perpendicular Gothic from the mid 14th century onwards. Until the Reformation this was merely Gloucester's Abbey of St Peter, under Henry VIII it became one of six former monastic churches to be promoted to cathedral status, thus saving the great church from the ravages of the Dissolution.
The most obviously Norman part is the nave, immediately apparent on entering the building with it's round arches and thick columns (the exterior is the result of Gothic remodelling). Much of the remainder of the building is substantially the Norman structure also, but almost entirely modified in the later Middle Ages inside and out, the result of the great revenue brought to the abbey by pilgrims to the tomb of the murdered King Edward II in the choir. It was this transformation of the Norman church that is credited with launching the late gothic Perpendicular style in England.
The gothic choir is a unique and spectacular work, the walls so heavily panelled as to suggest a huge stone cage (disguising the Norman arches behind) crowned by a glorious net-like vault adorned with numerous bosses (those over the Altar with superb figures of Christ and angels) whilst the east wall is entirely glazing in delicate stone tracery, and still preserving most of it's original 14th century stained glass. The soaring central tower, also richly panelled with delicate pinnacles, is another testament to the abbey's increasing wealth at this time.
The latest medieval additions to the church are equally glorious, the Lady Chapel is entered through the enormous east window and is itself a largely glazed structure, though the original glass has been reduced to a few fragments in the east window, the remainder now contains beautiful Arts & Crafts stained glass by Christopher and Veronica Whall.
The early 16th century cloisters to the north of the nave are some of the most beautiful anywhere, being completely covered by exquisite fan vaulting, with a separate lavatorium (washing room) attached to the north walk as a miniature version of the main passages.
There is much more of interest, from 14th century choir stalls with misericords to the comprehensive collection of tombs and monuments of various dates, including the elaborate tomb of Edward II and that of Robert Duke of Normandy, eldest son of William the Conqueror. The stained glass also represents all ages, from the 14th century to the striking contemporary windows by Tom Denny.
Further areas of the cathedral can be accessed at certain times, such as the Norman crypt under the choir and the triforium gallery above.
This well preserved Hawker / BAe Harrier T4 stands as testament to the past, its a Sqn gate guard at Wittering well was in 2008, it would be very interesting to know where it is now! Its a real bast to the past sitting in its traditional camoflage scheme, from before Grey camoflage was invented.
Concert and exhibition opening in the evangelical Lutheran church of Augusta Victoria on The Mount of Olives in Jerusalem, on Friday the 16th of December at 6 a clock pm. The exhibition is a complete Biblical cycle of both The Old- and The New Testament developed by the Norwegian, surrealist painter Håkon Gullvåg. The exhibition was in 2005 made as a temporary decoration for Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim, which is the national sanctuary of Norway. The motifs will through this show “come home” to their historical context, and will be displayed in the church during both Christmas 2011 and Easter 2012.
Opening speeches will be held by H. E. the Norwegian Minister of Government Administration, Reform and Church affairs Rigmor Aasrud, and by the bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Jordan and the Holy Land the Rt. Rev. Dr. Munib A. Younan.
The concert that follows the exhibition opening will be held by the Norwegian chamber ensemble The Trondheim Soloists, the Norwegian musician and composer Henning Sommeroe, together with the Palestinian artist and composer Rim Banna.
Shortly about me:
It’s my passion to create stories and bring back pictures of events, people and places that are rarely seen. It’s a combination of exploration, exposition and artistry that together create a life of adventure and excitement.
In my work it is imperative for me that information be accurate and the images must be respectful of the subject and viewer. My goal is to combine creativity with practicality to capture the best possible images to document events, tell a story, meet the picture editor's deadlines.

Illustration from "La Sainte Bible : Ancien Testament . . . / Compositions par J.-James Tissot"; with preface by Antonin Gilbert Sertillanges (1863-1948), introduction by Maurice de Brunoff (1861-1937) and the translation into French of Isaac-Louis Lemaistre de Saci (1613-1684). 2 volumes. Paris: M. de Brunoff & Cie, 1904. The illustrations were originated by James Tissot (1836-1902) who sketched as he read Scripture.
The edition, of which 561 copies were printed, contains 360 mounted colour, black-and-white and duo-tone illustrations in the text and 40 plates in three states: sepia-tone, partly hand-coloured, and finished coloured state. The plates are protected with captioned tissue-guards. The paper size is 15.75 x 13 ins; image size varies (circa 8.5 x 5.5 ins).
The paintings for all 400 Illustrations were based exclusively on the complete sketches (the inspiration being entirely Tissot's). The first 200 illustrations covering the Book of Genesis through to the story of Jephthah's daughter in the Book of Judges were painted by Tissot. The last remaining 200 illustrations were painted after Tissot's death in 1902 by Henri Bellery-Desfontaines, Auguste François Gorguet, Charles Hoffbauer, Louis van Parys, Michel Simonidy and Georges Bertin Scott.

Photos taken of various works of art at an exhibit while filming on-site for Battle Castle: Malbork with host Dan Snow in Poland. The show profiles the siege of 1410 when Polish and Lithuanian forces attacked the brick stronghold. The offensive, which was led by King Jagiello and Grand Duke Vytautas, occurred after the Battle of Tannenberg. The castle, historically known as Marienburg, was built by the Teutonic Order, crusader knights who occupied this area of the Baltic in medieval times.
Battle Castle is an action documentary series starring Dan Snow that is now airing on History Television and is scheduled to premiere on Discovery Knowledge in the UK in Spring 2012 and on various BBC-affiliated channels in the near future.
This show brings to life mighty medieval fortifications and the epic sieges they resist: clashes that defy the limits of military technology, turn empires to dust, and transform mortals into legends.

Castles conjure thoughts of romantic tales, but make no mistake, they are built for war.
Dover: Prince Louis’ key to England. Malaga: the Granadans final stronghold. And Crac des Chevaliers: Crown Jewel of Crusader castles. Through dynamic location footage and immersive visual effects, Battle Castle reveals a bloody history of this epic medieval arms race.
As siege weapons and technology become more ruthless, the men who design and built these castles reply … or perish. Follow host Dan Snow as he explores the military engineering behind these medieval megastructures and the legendary battles that became testaments to their might.
Each episode will climax in the ultimate test of the castle’s military engineering – a siege that will change the course of history. Which castles will be conquered and which will prevail? You’ll have to watch to find out.
But the journey doesn’t end there –in fact, it’s just beginning. Battle Castle extends into a multi-platform quest, taking us deep into the secret world of medieval warfare and strategy. Become the ultimate ‘Castle Master’. Stay tuned for more on the Battle Castle experience.
