It’s King Protea season in the Eastern Cape. Very early this year. Always a joy to see the grassy mountainsides covered with our national flower!

We started building the Orchard Gallery two years ago. Here it is now under the night sky with light streaming through the bottles embedded in the cob walls. Still work to do but it’ll be open later this year.

My home town of Makhanda has seven of these British colonial pillar boxes - part of our valuable heritage. Here’s a little clip (my first here) showing how I’ve photographed them using PEP Ventosa’s famous ‘in the round style’. #photography #pepventosa #pillarbox #makhanda #heritage

Into the sunset, fantastic viewing yesterday at Addo Elephant National Park. So many relaxed family groups grazing, playing and nursing. It was a joy to behold.

Fantastic photo shoot with the beautiful Farron last night. It’s been an age since I did some light painting and we had such fun tracing her poses with light trails #lightpainting #photography #model #modelshoot

And so I decided it was time to be clear and do what’s right. Here’s my AI FREE logo. I intend putting it on all my images posted online. If you’d like a copy (it’s a small PNG file) without my name, just the swans and text let me know.

Sometimes when I am editing images I get totally side tracked because a shot really catches a mood I'm experiencing. Here's an example with a real dystopian look - a flashback picture of a thundercloud lowering over the pink granite rocks of #Stångehuvud Nature Reserve in #sweden.
