In a misguided arrangement to make a stop over to George we made a booking at the Tankwa Karoo National Park . . . it is in fact now where near George and takes a minimum of about 18 hrs from Johannesburg to get there. Here are some of the photos of this beautiful place (even after a night spent sleeping in our car outside of our paid for accommodation).

This shoot was done in March of Esla and her two girls, sadly one of her horses is no longer with us - a reminder of the value of memory and how photos enhance our memories of those encounters which enrich our lives.

Just a few photos where I have been playing with a new free Jessica Drossin texture, to visit her site go to http://jessicadrossintextures.blogspot.com/.

These are a few more photos of yesterday morning...

This morning I woke in the hills above Watervalboven... not a town I have ever been drawn to, but the scenery around the town is spectaculat when viewed on foot. This is one of the early morning scenes that I managed to capture shortly after sun rise today, the cloud layer engulfed the town.

This is the sight that caught my eye as I opened the front door early Sunday morning ... it made me wonder what the sky looked like as Christ emerged from the tomb that early morning on that first easter morning...

Some photos from a day in the Pilanesberg, where, I late in the day discovered I had my camera on the wrong setting - changed for the children when they used it, medium JPG - the result was not great quality photos. Anyway here are a few...

I know i have already posted this photo but felt it suited the 'I hear faces' challenge of the month. To me this young face is filled with happiness and joy.
