Some pics and stuff.......

Hout Bay. Took the princess to Cape Town some time in 2004. Did the usual tourist things, and ended up in Hout Bay for lunch. And I took this pic. Yea, me. Not a google download this!!

Funny thing this digital photography. In the old days, you were more careful when taking pics, had them developed, and put them into an album you looked at every now and then.

Nowadays you click away like mad, download onto your pc...... and never look at them again!

So I've decided I'm going sort them in catgories,
pick the top 10 for each occasion, and have them printed and put into an album.

Makes for easier sharing with family and friends, and might get looked at more often.

that's how I found this one. I remember being most proud of this shot, but didn't even bother to print it at the time. And eventually forgot about it.


This is a typical sunset in a place called Koffiefontein (Coffee fountain). We have some friends who own a farm out there. It's a small place, on the outskirts of the Karoo.

Town is typical:- dusty sand roads, except for the main road going through the center of town which is tarred, 1 traffic cop, 3-4 policemen, 1 filling station, 1 butcher/grocer/green grocer. 1 Hotel, 5-6 shebeens (illegal liquor outlets)......
