Hogsback…Just for the Joy of It
“A thing of beauty is a joy forever.” ― John Keats, Endymion: A Poetic Romance The reason that I am passionate about photography is the pure joy of seeing the beauty, humor, and even the sadness sometimes, in life…it is a delicious savoring of moments in time…holding with love what is before me…and never letting it go […]
135 Days…
Back home from a cold and rainy forest holiday in Hogsback (strange name with unknown origin)…supposedly the place that inspired JRR Tolkien… nestled in the Amatola Mountain range and housing the oldest forest in South Africa… With no wi-fi or internet…you can lose yourself in the pure magic…the earthy smells and fragrances of the natural […]

A Place that Time Forgot
In the heart of the sizzling arid Karoo lies a small quaint village…Nieu-Bethesda…A little artist town with dusty untarred roads…approximately 50K (31 miles) from the town of Graaff-Reinet… Karoo…not a Kangaroos in sight…maybe a herd of Springbok or the ever present dorper sheep with their distinctive black heads…a mountain tortoise crossing the road…now and then…clean […]
