How great it is to be a South African. A diverse country with so many different cultures , religions and traditions. From south to east, north to west every little place is unique. This becomes very apparent when you travel through ifferent areas at different times of the day.
On Sunday the !7th of October 2010 i did a photo shoot for a couple who are to get married.The idea was to use them for invitaions in puzzle form. This has now changed to using the photo's for their thank you gifts. A wonderfull idea.A beautifully framed pictured engrave and i will most surely treasure it!
However i am galavanting off my main topic. On the way to the shoot at the Walter Sisulu Botanical gardens(amazingly beautiful Garden) i decide not to take a single highway. This previous friday was spent chatting to Dan van Hemert and Angelo Coppola about the effects of the new tolling system, and how the suburbs roads are going to change.
So from Selcourt (Springs) we drove past the normal Ooms en Tannies on their way to the N.G Kerk and your local tribesman on their trip to the local Shebeen for their sunday phuza, through Brakpan where the town was still to rise and into Benoni where Suburbia s genuinely quite serene. Past the fruit snd veg into Kempton Park where we were picking up the couple to photographed.
They live in an estae called Glen Eagles, WOW , is all i can say. A stunning estate. Lets not get off the route again. From Kempton through Benoni and into Boksburg. Sho these people like their Shopping. The roads were packed trying to get into Flea markets, Shopping centre's and even mobile pet stores. Through Boksburg into Bruma and then the suprise. Yeoville, sigh, what was once a beautiful area full of activity is now just full of activity. Yes there is diversity! Its a given when you have 30 different types of countries being represented there.
Ahhh through Houghton , Greenside and all those nice quite and cultured places, good. Now we are at the gardens and let the fun and games begin. for those of you who have not visited the Walter Sisulu Botannical gardens. You are missing out BIG time.
Enjoy the week ladies and gents.
