Intaka Island: Part 1

Intaka Island is one of my favourite places to go and relax. One can’t believe that this peaceful place is in the middle of the city. Here I can take photo’s of flowers and do a little birding as well. Intaka_8757Intaka_8544 Intaka_8545 Intaka_8546 Intaka_8549 Intaka_8550 Intaka_8551 Intaka_8552 Intaka_8555 Intaka_8560 Intaka_8561 Intaka_8564 Intaka_8565 Intaka_8569

Kirstenbosch: Part 2

It was a cold and rainy morning but that did not stop us walking through the beautiful Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens. I love spending time with my parents and my boys. Unfortunately my husband had to work and could not join us. We tried to cover the whole garden but with me wanting to capture every little flower time caught up with us and I decided to visit the garden again. Here are some more photo’s I took.  I took so many photo’s I’ll be posting it in parts…KB_7123 KB_7124 KB_7126 KB_7128 KB_7129 KB_7130 KB_7133 KB_7134 KB_7141 KB_7147 KB_7149 KB_7150 KB_7152 KB_7154 KB_7156 KB_7159

Tankwa Karoo National Park: Driving through the park.

15  September 2013: Tankwa Karoo National Park

Time caught up with us and we had to leave the park before closing time. These photo’s were taken on our way out of the park…

One can’t seem to notice the difference in the sky from one side of the road to the other side. One side was partly cloudy but still had blue skies the other side was dark and very cloudy with hardly any blue sky…

A Blast from the past… Project 365/365

15  September 2013: Tankwa Karoo National Park

Skooltjie

The building opposite Uintjiesbosch was originally a school for white children. The first teacher was Wessel de Lange who lived in the house below the school. The building is well-built with wooden floors and ceilings, a stoep and a full solder. It was also used for meetings of the local Farmers Association. After De Lange left, Japie van der Merwe and his family moved into the house. Christo van Wyk and Hansie Coetzee were the teachers at the now two-man school. Children could go to school until Grade 8. The school later became a school for coloured children and a hostel was built by extending the original teacher’s house and the school catered for both coloured and white children.
