A new photo from Suzanne--taken at a celebration in Taita Taveta near the Tanzania border . . .
I love the way they seem to be jumping straight up--as if from a standing position.
That's the traditional Masaii dance. I'd seen it before at tourist locations (some tourist destinations and hotels pay Masaii dancers to jump and dance outside prime spots for hours).
More exciting when there's an occasion to celebrate.

Still, pretty exciting, even from this distance.
