A couple of weeks ago I got to finally go on the Waterfall Hike at InniKloof outside Hankey. Something we've been wanting to do for quite a while now.

A couple of years ago I got to walk underneath the Van Stadens Bridge for the first time while following one of the trails in the Van Stadens Wildflower Reserve in search of a Geocache. A couple of days ago I saw a friend post a similar picture and I decided to go and dig this photo out to post again. Not the usual view of the bridge, is it?
Last weekend while on the beach I noticed this line of clouds moving over Port Elizabeth. If I didn't know better I would have thought it was a cold front coming in, but these clouds were moving away and this was the back of it. Was rather striking...
The centre piece fountain of the Pearson Conservatory in St George's Park was made by Andrew Handyside at the Duke Street Foundry "Britannia Iron Works" in Derby in the UK around the same year the Conservatory was built in 1882.
