Finally, i could get my hand on a camera thanks to my friend Mr. Niraj Joshi and here is the output. The best part about photography in Pemba is that, since the town is small & situated in a bay, any landscape snaps taken from a wee bit of a height will definitely capture some of the beautiful blue water too.
The first two snaps that you see below are on the road which is a block behind my house. The road is lined by houses on one side and a row of coconut trees on the other side.

This stretch of road is good for an evening walk or even a short drive to the Italian eatery down the road.
Beyond the coconut tress & the edge of the road lies the clear blue waters of Pemba bay - the next snap. The sight just awesome. Especially the various hues of blue that are visible in the sunlight.
Further down the road lies the old city of Pemba as you see in the snap below. Once upon a time what used to be residences, today houses warehouses & wholesalers.
Neighbouring the old part of the city is the tiny Pemba port which can berth one ship at a time.
Interestingly the major cargo that is carried by this port is not timber but cotton. Plexus, the UK based leading supplier of raw cotton, worldwide is the biggest client of the port. Most of the concrete structures that you see around the port are Plexus warehouses.
