Now there's a story, I wondered what happened?  You 'Going nowhere slowly' photo would make a great poster, Rogan  8)

I'm glad you enjoyed my picture Robin   8)

I just love wide open spaces and this photo epitomizes large areas of southern Africa. I snapped this scene near the town of Aliwal North on the banks of the Orange River.

Me too....and the vast skies over head - no wonder SA leaves such an impression on anyone who has visited/lived there.

i also love this scene for the open spaces and light-besides the car and flowers! i can imagine hours of botanising in this landscape!
there are places in southern alberta and british columbia that look quite similar, with a very different flora, of course!

SOMEHOW I used a slide film twice. A few of the better shots.
see the possum carved into this log at Cruden Farm - the home of Lady Murdoch - as in publishing.
the driveway at Cruden Farm
the side of the house at Cruden Farm
the special honeysuckle at Cruden Farm
at Otto Fauser's garden
again at Otto's - I didn't know he was growing the arils between his pots!
Another at Otto's - what is this paeony?

Pat, your double exposure shots could be the start of of something special in an exhibition - they are so absorbing to look at and show everything in a new light  ;)  Really, really, cool  8) 8) 8) 8)

In the digital age no-one would think it possible  :o  ;D ;D ;D

happy accident (except of course for the loss of the shots you wanted) and a good eye to catch the interesting ones!

Pat,
very interesting. The yellow iris in image 0003 resembles the shape of a palm tree in an Greek garden seen in Corfu 8). Recalls nice vacation memories with my family :-*
Best wishes

Two shots captured through the rear side window of JohnnyD's car as we sped back from the recent SRGC Conference.  The sky was a melange of dark forbidding clouds, isolated shafts of sunlight and a transient hot air balloon ... images enhanced slightly for colour intensity.
