Quite unique in this part of the world, beehive houses are mere huts made with mud bricks and resemble African huts.
The brownish colour of the houses was turning deep red as I watched the sun go down on the horizon. Their shapes appeared extremely aesthetical and beautiful, and I marvelled at their simple, yet efficient design. The houses are small, but their construction ensures a quite constant temperature inside. While I was clicking away and enjoying the view of these marvellous structures, children from the village came to greet me and ask me for pen and photos. One of the eternal travellers questions came to my mind: do they realize the beauty they are surrounded by, or do they just see foreigners as strange intruders in their reality? As the last sunrays lost their power and permitted the skies to turn dark blue, I saw the contours of the huts turning into silhouets against an orange horizon.
