This flower was growing right up at the top of the mountain overlooking the Valley of Desolation overlooking Graaf Rinet…

Woodpecker…
I realise this photo is not that good, but considering it was taken in the wrong camera setting and out of the window, climbing the Montague Pass, I’m fairly happy with it.
We think they are Ground Woodpeckers, but are happy to be told otherwise..
They flew away, as a pair – just hopped off the ledge and swooped downwards, out of sight. I twisted round in my seat and took this one… 
Mostly there is only room for one vehicle, but we only passed a few! Montague is a ‘scenic’ pass, not one people use daily to go to work! It was worth the drive, but I would probably have had more fun if we were not in a borrowed (uninsured) vehicle! 
Look at this cute old railway bridge – we sat there for some time and I photographed the flowers and rock features without panicking I was blocking the traffic!
Flowers – just growing up against the towering cliff face
And water…just leaking out of the rocks.
Ive no idea what this flower is – probably pretty common, but lovely none the less…
Sabi Star…
Sitting waiting at Rupisi Springs while the guys tried to find a borehole site that didn’t have boiling hot water in it, I saw a flash of bright red…
I got out the car to investigate and found this magic flower…
This is what the plant looks like! I’m told some of these plants grow over head height – this one is about knee height…
Shimmers…
I took these photos, directly into the sun. I didn’t think they would come out – but the shimmering blue on the water was so lovely, I just had to try. 
The blues didn’t come out at all…but I like what I did get. 
Eli…
I’m trying out my portraiture…this is the Mask AKA, Eli
120km per hour…
These pics werre taken in the Karoo somewhere, from out of the window of a moving car… certainly interesting!
Ostriches…
I’m not sure what caused the strange colours in these two photos, but I’ll just go with it! Taken at about ten in the morning with heavy cloud. I love the silver grass and thorns.
Vogelstruisleegte…
These photographs were taken on the straightest, longest road I have ever driven on….somewhere in the Cape.
Stunningly beautiful views – if you are into the dark, arid aspects. There was no point in me taking pictures in the other direction – it was flat, flat, flat, for Idunnohowmany kilometers…
Still Bay…
This must be the best sign post I have ever seen…
Anglican Church, Knysna
I was driving down the road, watching the traffic carefully and nearly missed this lovely little church…It became too small it seems and a new one was built…(pictured below.)
I love churches, especially old ones. Grave yards…stained glass windows. Not sure who this was, buried here…
Two of my favorite things: Churches and trees…
This is inside the chapel…(the original church)
Since I was in “Church photography” mode, I thought I’d best take this one:
Taken from the garden of the “newer Anglican Church in Knysna…”
