The public park near the mountains of course, as this was our second sunshine day after the severe floods. Oh, and the power cuts are also back again, as they were cancelled during our emergency period.
We parked the car next to a beautiful dam with an island in the middle.
Just a pity that the dam was a big puddle of water in the parking lot of the park :)
I so want to get a buzzard like this on the face of the moon.
Somebody's dog came to say hello to me.
It was late afternoon and the sun was on its way down. But look at the lovely colors.
This is our shadow on the bench where we sat down for a while. I am on the right and my wife was on the left, waving to all of you on Hive.
Yeah, the mountains started to turn red and we did not see this on the mountains during our winter period. Still spring season here and in the summer the mountains will take on an even deeper red.
What can I say? This is a true African sun on its way to bed.
Finally, that's where we left it at.
Such a pleasure to have some sunlight after the floods. 84 roads were still closed this morning, and news is that the emergency services are hard at work, day and night, to free the towns that were locked due to not being able to use their washed-out roads. Sadly, 11 people have also died, including some children, and it is said that the children were playing in the water that was electrified by illegal electricity connections. Helicopters had to fly provisions into the locked-down towns, such as groceries and other foods. It is reckoned that 15 000 households in the province are without electricity due to the damages by the floods of the power pylons.
Many rivers have burst their banks and it is also said that the last time that some rivers overflowed was 100 years ago. So we are living in interesting times, weather-wise.
I hope that you have enjoyed the pictures and the story.
