Just in case people thought I live in a rural wilderness after all the nature pictures, this is the view to the West - downtown Johannesburg - a sight that I am rather fond of. If you saw the sci-fi film District 9or Avengers: Age of Ultron, this will look familiar. Although the Johannesburg CBD has an evil reputation, I lived there for many years and have fond memories of it, which is not to say that bad things never happened to me there, they certainly did.
This picture was shot in the late afternoon, on a day when it was threatening to rain but never did, from the ridge behind my house, a tiny little slice of public land that remains undeveloped and will not be built on. I feel very privileged to be able to live there and visit natural surroundings which are not in great condition from a conservation point of view yet the rocks are spectacular and nature carries on regardless.
