My view of the world and anything that might interest me.
Sorry for the quality but it is the best I could do in the dark with my cellphone.
Last night at around 7 pm the power went out in my room. Luckily I had a battery flashlight (the first one did not work and I had to get a replacement). Not being able to use the microwave or anything, I settled for a dinner of cheese and crackers.
Just some of the things to keep in mind when travelling across South Africa these days. You never know when you going to be hit by a power failure.
As most of you know my current job involves travelling across the breath of South Africa, mostly by air but I do come across things I would like to share. I thought I would take a leave out of Paul’s and Kerry-Ann’s (they are the people behind Cape Town Daily Photo) book and share a photograph on a daily basis. At least that is the idea, I might skip some days when time does not allow.
I am calling my attempt at this, Daily Travel Photo (DTP) since it will be a photograph about where the road and work takes me.
I though the best place to start is where I stay at the moment. It is a glorious sunny winters day in Johannesburg and this photo is taken from my guesthouse room balcony of the back garden with the swimming pool and little cascading waterfall which has a very soothing sound.
Hope you enjoy what I have to bring you on a daily basis. Actually I stated this yesterday with the post regarding the beggar.
Comments always welcome.
Yes I know it was a while but I have been so busy with travelling and working and life in general.
Here is how ingenuous people can be.
This photo was taken when I stopped at a red robot in Johannesburg yesterday on my way from work back to my guesthouse. This guy was painted silver from head to toe and stood dead still in the road. I was at the robot for at least 2 minutes and he did not move at all, not even his open mouth closed. Just as the robot turned green the car in front of me dropped some money in his hat (which was also painted silver) and he moved to say thanks. Although I do not like to give money to robot beggars, I also gave some since this was really ingenuous and he deserved some recognition.
