Purple and green lines in the Overberg – Featured Blog

Road tripping often allows you to see the most interesting and unusual sights.  Something you don’t get wizzing overhead to your destination in a plane.  The Overberg is famous for it’s canola fields covered in yellow flowers in spring, otherwise green fields in spring and and brown ploughed fields ion late summer going into autumn and winter.  Or that was until I saw this. Mmmm, very unusual. I don’t know why but it reminded me of a couple of pictures of somewhere in Europe I’ve seen before.  If it wasn’t for the sheep it could have been.  Whatever it is, it shouted out for me to pull over and grab my camera.

 

It was a late afternoon on a gloomy day, our only day, in Knysna and I was taking a walk around Leisure Isle with a couple of friends.  The mission was actually one of a Geocaching kind, but two of us had our cameras with us as well and once the cache was found it became a photography trip.  With not a lot of sunshine around it meant that there would be no spectacular lagoon sunset so we found ourselves a couple of subjects in these two row boats moored a few meters away from the island.  It wasn’t long and we were both flat on our tummies to try and get a low angle and a nearby fisherman was so interested in what we were doing that he nearly missed the slight tug on his line.
