One of the best birthday gifts have ever received was on shoot in north-east Madagascar. We were staying at a rustic place called Tampolo Lodge which was on a marine reserve that was a 2 day walk or 3 hour speedboat ride from the nearest town. It is probably one of the most beautiful places I have ever been to....
Freshwater streams run directly from the rain forest of the Masoala National Park directly into the sea. The beach is a rich, warm yellow colour and backs onto the deep green forest with comet orchids dotted everywhere! The sky is continually shifting from dark rain clouds to light tropical rain to warm sun, and back again. Gorgeous.
We were also there with our friend, Augustin Sarovy, who was working as our translator and guide. So on 21 August, Augustin with some other boatmen and local fishermen sang me a birthday song - in 4 part harmony!
