When the sun is setting, between dusk and darkness, there is a moment when the light turns blue. And the world stops for a heartbeat.
Close to our house there is a park that has a section of trees long dead and dried up. The park has now started to cut them down, which s a pity as they are actually quite beautiful with their long white trunks and leafless branches.
I admit. I’m cheating.
I took photos every day in the conference. I just did not like any I took on day 3. So this photo is taken in day 2 after few (or a few more) drinks with friends and colleagues. However, it is my challenge, so I’ll allow it.
The conference venue was centered aroun this beautiful dam. With clear skies, amazing number of stars and a slight glow of town lights from nearby, the scene was just beautiful.
Only in South Africa will you ever share a conference venue with zeebras, wilderbeest, kudus and monkeys…
For our pup – Merlin – the day without a park is wasted. So after some big puppy eyes stared me down, we took a walk in a close-by park. Despite some event taking place in one side of this small park, we found a few peaceful spots.
The winter is coming to South Africa, and evenings are getting shorter. Playing around in our garden with my camera (Note, the challenge is making a difference!) I became fascinated with the lens flares. This one was the last I got before the sun got too low behind the tree.
It’s only day 4 and I came home from work tired – and almost forgot my photo… Luckily there is makro… Stuart has a great habit of brining me flowers every few weeks, so there is typically something to shoot at.
I am back… After few years of total silence, I’ve decided to revive my blog – mainly to have an outlet to post my Project 365 photos. (see short background in the page ‘Project 365’)
So, for Day 1 we went for a hike in the private farm near Pretoria. I have to say I am rusty. Despite a nice scenery, I did not get many good photos from the trip. Luckily there are always ants…
Introduction to Finnish autumn. Lingonberries. Swamp. Horse flies.
All worth it for the colors alone.
