Baie mooi pics, sit meer op. In groen gebiede sal jy oor daai goed loop sonder om om te kyk, maar in daai droe gebiede waardeer die mense die klein dingetjies wat ons vanselfsprekend vat, alles en mekaar is vir hulle meer belangrik, selfs n voertuig het n ander betekenis, dit kan die verskil maak tussen lewe en dood. Ek kuier altyd lekker daar en ek geniet hulle unieke passie vir dit wat hulle het, alhoewel ek nie daar sal kan bly nie, ek is n groen mens.

Fantastic Roger.. This part of SA is in my blood.. you have no idea what these pictures are doing to me.. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: Luckily I am going to visit the NC soon, to get my fix..

Roger do you know why so many Kokerbome are busy dying? Is it because of disease or "global warming"?? Really a sad state of affairs.. :shock: :shock:

I will be going out again as soon as it cools down a bit and will take more pics. I lost hundreds of pics when my computer crashed last year. So I will have to start taking all over again, at least I have a good excuse to go to the veld more often this year.(Not that I need one). :thumbup:

Found a few more pics.
This tree is actually growing out of the cracks in the rock, it is about 10 km from Stienkopf on the right hand side of the road on the way down to the border.There is a tower on the koppie on the left hand side. A person can stop and look at it as there is a gate and a place to pull over.

Regtig baie mooi en dankie! Die tyd toe ek in die omgewing groot geword het, wel oranjemund, was ons naweek na naweek of op Vioolsdrift of in Springbok. Daai jare was daar kameras, maar om fotos te ontwikkel moes dit Kaap toe gestuur word met Die Jowell lories om te laat ontwikkel. So van die dag wat jy die foto geneem het het dit so maand gevat voor die foto by jou afgelewer word.
Thanks
Rian
