Winter is back… or still here – Featured Blog

Winter is back… or still here:

Just yesterday I asked somebody if they also thought that we didn’t have a very cold winter this year as I stood sweating in the sun outside the lodge at Mount Camdeboo Game Reserve outside Graaff-Reinet.  This morning we woke up to a freezing wind and snow on the mountains in the area.  On my way back this afternoon I heard it hailed in some parts of Port Elizabeth. I pulled off the freeway and made a quick stop in Despatch (for a Geocache) and snapped this pic of an empty play park and the approaching clouds.  Cold and abandoned.  In black and white it feels even colder.  Winter just reminded us that she’s still here and not leaving just yet.

Chilling with some gnomes:

Every now and then I post a photo or two that wasn’t taken in Port Elizabeth or the greater Nelson Mandela Bay.  Normally it’s because I have run out of PE photos or haven’t had a chance to take one.  Today is one of those days.  I’m posting this from Mount Camdeboo Game Reserve outside Graaff-Reinet where I am attending the Karoo Heartland AGM tomorrow.  On my way here I stopped at my favorite two Karoo gnomes a few kilometers south of Jansenville to discuss rugby (seeing that they are dressed in EP Kings and Springbok colours), tourism and the meaning of life.
