Some New Ways to View Zimbabwe


I'm testing out some new software so I can present the beauty of Africa in different formats. Here are some old photos shown in new ways.


Old photos make old movies.

Great Zimbabwe -- The Acropolis

Great Zimbabwe has two major structures. The Acropolis sits upon the mountain top and the Valley enclosure sits in the valley below. See entry Great Zimbabwe for detailed pictures.



The valley floor is strewn with unrestored ruins and an abundance of native aloes.

Great Zimbabwe

Great Zimbabwe is located near Mazvingo, Zimbabwe. It was the inspiration for Rider Haggart's novel King Solomon's Mines. (The best movie adaptation was filmed in East Africa in the late 1950's. A silly version was filmed in Zimbabwe in the 1980's. A movie loosely based on the novel has been shown on the Hallmark Channel.) The most famous aspects of the ancient city are the "Acropolis" and the "Valley Complex."
