The open road.
I didn’t have time to hit the road with my camera, so I hit the archives instead. The following series of photos are from last Febrary holidays in the Cape, South Africa.
We drove down fromJohannesburg in the north to the Cape in the South, through the extrordinary Karoo with its delicious Karoo lamb meat and dry, captivating, almost desert like atmosphere, its heartbeat steady and undisturbed.
…looking into your future, on the long, empty roads in the Karoo, Cape…
…sizzling heat on the Karoo roads…
…entering the winelands of the Cape at De Doorns…
…the open road leads to school…
…the road along the coast to Gordons bay…
…knights of the highway(Africa baboon)…

Gordons Bay was my favorite. Looked like you could just drive off into the water! Thanks for sharing. All great shots!

Oh! These were all so awesome! That first photo reminds me so much our deserts here in New Mexico. And the Bay is so beautiful! Such a contrast…along with the winelands. And the Knights of the Road. Clever!
Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful mountains and bay! My niece is attending graduate school in Grahamstown, South Africa, studying documentary film making.
