Daily Photo – Hellscombe
Quite why this particular combe picked up the moniker of Hellscombe is lost to me. It doesn't look particularly hellish.
Daily Photo – North Farm
Late winter and the grasses are recovering, still no leaves on the trees but the fields are being prepared for spring wheat.
Daily Photo – Windsurfing at Sunset Beach
A little way north up the Atlantic Coast from Cape Town is the beach community of Sunset Beach. On the day we went up there they were having a windsurfing (sailboarding? - Anyone know the difference? Anyone care?) competition that we stayed and watched for a while.
Daily Photo – Harrowing Time
Late afternoon and a farm worker pulls a harrow across a field before a stand of trees. The trees all tilt to the right showing the direction of the prevailing winds. Dust hangs in the air behind the tractor.
Daily Photo – Delmas Sunset
This sunset was taken from our camp near Delmas which is about 40 miles east of Johannesburg. Looking back, I don't recall mosquitoes being a particular problem, despite the often wet camp sites.
Daily Photo – Graskop Waterfall
This photo is also an HDR from three slide scans. Again, I'd retained in my slide collection three versions of this scene, each about 1EV in separation. So I scanned all three and then blended them in Photomatix to get this result.
