I am VERY excited to have visited inner Joburg City and discover some amazing South African Artwork. First two pictures are in front of Jimmy Law paintings.

My friends and I came across this street by chance. An African Alice in wonderland for artists. Joburg City has so much to offer in the way of history depicted through art.

THE SECRET GARDEN

I could have been in Italy or some quaint village in Europe. A magical moment lost in the city, blessed with a show of flowers.

Which is more exciting, the process or the final product.

LINGA-LONGA, BELA BELA walk to the cross.

I took a few days break this November to catch my breath and do a bit of soul searching. Linga-Longa is perfect for that, 22 hectares of open space, natural beauty and fresh air.

The top end of the property elevates into a steep hill with a wooden cross near the peak. It’s a relatively easy walk even for the “not-so-fit” but still steep enough to feel the climb.

So as Elvis, the dogs and I negotiated our footsteps up the rocky terrain, crouching under branches and around trees I couldn’t help notice patches of beauty. The thing that I love about this kind of vegetation is how hardy and persistent the plant and animal life is. Nearly every rock surface displays it’s own “natural rock-art” or lichen and ferns that look like they belong in a rain forest sprout out in hues of green. Visually it’s a great illustrative parallel of how life even in times of difficulty and can produce beautiful results.
