Picture Perfect Memories for life
Myriad memories frozen in time
Gerda-Mari was one of the winners of the two vouchers I sponsored for the Miss Winelands Petite 2014 Pageant. This lady is so beautiful I had no problem filling up my memory cards with photo’s of her. She made the most simple outfit look absolutely fantastic…. It took us a while to get a booking that was convenient for everybody but it was surely worth the wait.
For more photo’s of this stunning Lady please visit Gerda- Mari Miss Winelands Petite 2014 on my website
I had the pleasure to capture these beautiful ladies a few weeks back. The daughters decided to do something special and bring their mother for a photo shoot with them. We had so much fun and I enjoyed the shoot very much.

Another common sight is anthills. From small to big ones. I think it looked absolutely stunning with the yellow and orange flowers around it….

These orange fields of flowers is throughout the whole park. Luckily the roads inside the park was much better than the 20 km we traveled from Kamieskroon.

Just look at the Beautiful flowers on the way to the Namaqua National Park. Our first Sanpark that we visited on our holiday. My dad got hooked on taking photo’s of all the flowers. One can see where I got my love for photography.
When I look back at my childhood my father was always photographing my brother and myself. I have albums full of photo’s of us…. WOW to think I just realized it a few seconds ago. I must remember to go and thank my father… My love for flowers I got from my Grandmother. I am truly Blessed indeed…

The road to the Namaqua National Park was very bad. One pothole after the other. Some stretches I had to drive on the wrong side of the road. The 20km stretch felt like 120km… At least the view and all the flowers made it all worth while.

Coreen9 September 2013: Kamieskroon
The Kliphuis Kombuis a farm stall as you come into Kamieskroon had very cute decorations but it lack in food. They advertised allot of things on their menu board but when one wants to order they did not have any of the stuff on their menu. We wanted to have lunch here at the farm stall but ended up heading to the Namaqua National Park on an empty stomach. I am not one that likes to complain but if you write something on your menu board please ensure you have it.

Coreen9 September 2013: Kamieskroon
Kamieskroon is a very small town with dirt roads that is in very poor conditions. One pothole after the other….
Some information on Kamieskroon. Kamieskroon was established in 1924 in the place of a town called Bowesdorp which was abandoned. It is at the foot of the Kamies Mountains where there is a large rock known as the Kroon (Crown). A long peak known as the Weeskind (Orphan). To the left of Kamieskroon about 20km lies the Namaqua National Park.

Coreen9 September 2013: On Route to Kamieskroon
Road works and stop and go’s was part of our holiday. Everywhere we went we had to stop at a few of them. But we made the best of these stops. We got out of the car and enjoyed the scenery and capturing our surroundings. The only downside to these stops was in the end it took allot of time some stops was 10 minutes others 20 minutes all depending on the length of the roadworks….

On route to Kamieskroon we came across this odd looking building. We thought it was a conference center but when I looked it up it was much more. It’s a holiday destination. Definitely another place to put on my bucket list to go and visit. I love visiting places with a rich history…
