At the Union Building again

Me and my girlfriend went to the Union Building in Pretoria here in South Africa, and she took this very nice photo while we were sitting there.

Dark Clouds

Playing around with the colour filters on my camera, I took this very dark and eerie photo of the clouds at our farm.

Frosts effect on cactus

Its so cold where I live that not even these cacti can survive the winter frost. Anyway, made quite a nice photo...

Botanical Gardens in Bloemfontein

After heavy rains the whole year, the gardens were thriving! This was one of the ponds there that was usually nothing but dirt and sand.

Bending road on dam wall

The road going over the Gariep Dam.

My blurry dog

I got this very cute shot of my dog after taking lots of pictures of her. She almost pressed her snout right up against the camera when I took the photo...

Blurry Leaves

This was when I was still learning to operate the camera - I tried something, and this blurry image was what I ended up with...

Gariep Dam in SA overflowing

This is a sight we get to see about once every ten to twenty years... Its the Gariep Dam (previously the Hendrik Verwoerd Dam) here in South Africa.

Check out this little guy

I discovered this green grasshopper in our garden, decided to take his picture...

Autumn Starting

This I took just as the summer was getting to an end, with nice shades of green and yellow in the leaves...

"Ou Katrina"

This old woman has been living on our farm forever! Probably hundreds of years :)

Orange Clouds

This was the actual colour of the clouds one afternoon back home, I didn't do any editing on this photo!

Karoo Sunset

I took this just after I got the camera and this was basically the first really nice photo I took. And this is really only a sight you can behold in the Karoo, South Africa!

A very interesting cloud formation over the Gariep Dam

I just had to take a picture of this very unique cloud formation hanging over the Gariep Dam in South Africa. This is really something!

Sunrise over the Orange River

The day wasn't off to a very good start... One of my clients had PC troubles, and I had to go out to his farm right next to the Orange River here in South Africa, and worst of all this was around 7 in the morning!

Anyway, as I crossed the bridge, I took a glance to my right and saw this brilliant sunrise, so I actually stopped, reversed a few hundred meters and took this photo! I must say, it came out quite nicely...
