Remnants of the Wedding

Matchbox Pinholes!

An accidental opening of the shutter.  Whoops!

Some successes at last!

Grahamstown

Out and A-boat

Knysna

I love going for walks with my HUSBAND.  And taking photos with my HUSBAND.  And going on holiday with my HUSBAND.  I also love my HUSBAND :)

Other Side of the (Honey)moon

Port Alfred, Eastern Cape

Prawns.  Coke.  Husband.  Yummy.  All three :)

Honeymoon on (literally) Cloud 9

Tenahead, Eastern Cape

After months of being distracted (not stressed out at all...) by wedding planning, I can finally blog again in my newly aquired happily-married state :)  Getting married in winter is great.  You get to rally drive to the ceremony on slushy farm roads after heavy rains and wind the previous night, run with delight in the mud in your white wedding dress, have a mud-splattered father (after pushing sister/maid of honour's car out of the mud at the bottom of the hill to the chapel) walk you down the aisle and then go to cold places for honeymoon with your new hot water bottle/husband.  Awesome :)

Life Through My Rose-Tinted Glasses :)

Such amazing misty weather in Grahamstown :)

Grey dam: N for nudity



Grey dam, Grahamstown

 Ah, Grey dam.  Wonderfully peaceful.  Until a little naked bum pops out of the water...

Lazy Weekend at the Sea

Kenton, Eastern Cape

Butterfly!

Many years have past since I last posted.  Oh dear. But better late than never, I say :)

So, I have decided that instead of doing a "One every day" blog, which clearly is not working out too well, I'll do a "At least once a week" blog :)

Summer daze

A hot boy

It is so ridonculously hot I have even sweated out a tiny inspired moment at the pool.



Outside The Floater, Port Alfred



Uninspired living.

Kenton, Eastern Cape

As one can see, I am still uninspired.  On a cracker!

And I do love a good train track :)

Rainy Afternoon Drive :)

Somewhere outside Grahamstown

Have I mentioned before that I love the rain?

A whole week of no photos!  Shocking!  And still my inspiration is no where to be found...  Although, I like to think it has all been channeled into wedding planning :)

So, not being able to see the big picture, I am opting for the small one.  Or maybe it is the big picture...

Abandoned house



Better Late than Never

On a mountain in Grahamstown

Due to my lack of inspiration the last while, I am a few days behind...woopsy!

Black and white...

... is the bomb shizzle :)

Many a beautiful sight to be seen in Ethiopia :)

For Heidi - not only mud huts :)

After the End

Lalibela

Now that I'm back, I don't know what to take pictures of... take me to Ethiopia!!! 

The End

Taxi in Addis

So, the end of our awesome Ethiopian adventure.  Two weeks, seven flights and my first time in East Africa and in the northern hemisphere :)  

The ruins of what is said to be the palace of the Queen of Sheba :)

A 1400 year old book with goat skin pages in the Church of St. Mary of Zion in Axum.  The church was built in the 60s by Haile Selassie.  Close by is a chapel where it is said the ark of the covenant is kept.  Only one priest is allowed in the chapel to guard the ark...and play computer games.

King Ezana Inscription

Three languages (Sabaean (above), Ge'ez and Greek) on three sides of this stone slab describe how King Ezana defeated his enemies.

Underground in King Kaleb's palace :)

Granite Stele of King Ezana, Axum

Axum, the oldest city in Ethiopia.  Only about 30% of it has been excavated so far but already a gazillion tombs and palaces and historic goodies have been uncovered.  This stele stands 24m tall and weighs 160 tonnes.  It was taken to Italy in the 30s by Mussolini but returned to Axum in 2005.    Some cool tombs underneath :)
