As the peacock fly
I had wanted to take a photo of indian peacocks actually flying for years. The large and heavy birds with their train of feathers are able to fly, but often they prefer walking. Flying is hard work.
Not this one. He and his flock of peafowls where walking on the roofs of the buildings of the Lamido palace in Ngouandéré. Getting around meant flying. And I spent some quality time walking after them waiting for the jump and flight.
The local chieftain/king/Lamido in Nguandere had this old, classic symbol of power and wealth - peacocks wandering free in his private gardens.
They are not elegant flyers.
Royal symbol
The indian name for peafowl is Mayura, meaning killer of snakes. Understandably, a fashion statement that is actually useful probably help them being closely connected to culture and power.
Killing of snakes is also symbolic for cycling of time.
According to myths, the Mayura was created by feathers from Garuda, a highly important birddemigod in hinduism and buddhist culture.
Lakshmi, the consort of Vishnu, have peafowl as her symbol.

NEW MAP: Northern Africa 1912: Treaty of Fez (30 Mar 1912) https://buff.ly/2YgtaAH The Agadir Crisis was resolved in late 1911 when Germany agreed to accept French control of Morocco in return for a substantial cession of territory from French Equatorial Africa to German Kamerun. In March 1912 the Treaty of Fez established a French protectorate in Morocco, with another treaty later that year recognizing Spanish claims in the north and south of the country. #1912 #20thcentury #kamerun #africanhistory #cartografia #cartographer #cartography #colonialism #empire #frenchempire #frenchequatorialafrica #germanempire #historical #historie #historyfacts #historylesson #historymaker #instahistory #imperialist #imperialism #maps #march #march30 #militaryhistory #modernhistory #morocco #northernafrica #scrambleforafrica #britishempire #newmap (at Fez, Morocco) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_hOC6DAx6M/?igshid=gsfi64fslsob

„Die Suchenden" ist der dritte Roman des in Deutschland lebenden kamerunischen Schriftstellers Rodrigue Péguy Takou Ndie und sein bisher einziger, der ins Deutsche übersetzt wurde. Inspiriert durch eigene Erlebnisse und Erfahrungen stellt Rodrigue Péguy Takou Ndie existentielle Fragen: Wie lassen sich Menschlichkeit und Hoffnung bewahren, wenn Überleben bedeutet, nicht zurückblicken zu dürfen, nicht mitzufühlen mit denen, die - von Schleppern in der Wüste ausgesetzt – verdurstet sind oder von marokkanischen Polizisten erschlagen wurden? Wenn der einzige Freund und Ratgeber seit bald zwei Jahrzehnten in einem Lager irgendwo in Deutschland vor sich hinvegetiert und auf seine Abschiebung wartet. „Die Suchenden" beschönigt nichts. Schonungslos berichtet Rodrigue Péguy Takou Ndie von zerstörten Herkunftsgesellschaften, brutalen Verhältnissen in Nordafrika und Europa, von Profiteuren und Ignoranten - und von den Suchenden selbst. Die scharfe Analyse der traumatisierenden Auswirkungen von Neokolonialismus, europäischem Grenzregime, deutschem Asylsystem und alltäglichem Rassismus geht einher mit einer bildreichen Sprache, mit eindringlich dichten Beschreibungen und einem wunderbaren Sinn fürs Absurde. Der Autor: Rodrigue Péguy Takou Ndie wurde im Dezember 1981 in Bafoussam (Kamerun) geboren, wo er seine Kindheit und Jugend verbrachte. An der Universität Yaoundé studierte er Wirtschaftswissenschaften, arbeitete dann aber als Autor und Schriftsteller. Aus politischen Gründen musste Rodrigue Péguy Takou Ndie im Jahr 2013 aus Kamerun fliehen. Mittlerweile lebt er in Deutschland, wo er sich u.a. bei dem Netzwerk Afrique-Europe-Interact engagiert.
