Khupuka Concert, Harare, Kyalietsha
A colleague at work
co-runs a youth enrichment program
in his spare time
They call it Khupuka.
A concert was planned
Various groups appeared
With the promise
That there would be sponsors..
The day arrived.
The sponsors didn't.
By the looks of the folk
around the area called Harare
they don't often see an mlunghu
especially on a motorbike!
Khupeka do a great job of keeping kids off the street, giving them social skills, a work ethic aiming towards excellence, teaching singing and drama. They cater to young people from the age of 6 to 16.

Cape Aghulas - Winter Blossom
your Father in heaven
cares for them.
How much more will he
care for you?
Table Mountain - Painted Sky
This mountain shows a different face every day
At times it's the mountain
At times it's what she wears
Here she has a pretty hat!
The Day After The Fire - Red Sun
The day after the houses burned down
Cape Town was covered in smoke and ash
The moon turned yellow, the sun turned red

Mountain Views, Sunset Stripes

Cellphone sunset at its best!
Century City really is the place to be when
viewing the setting sun (at least in winter).
That the setting sun remains beautiful
in summer, there is no doubt, but it hides
behind that ugliest of buildings they've called
Knightsbridge, Century City.
What is dramatically observable from this viewpoint
is the change from winter to summer. The winter sun
sets on the right third, whilst summer moves it across
to behind the mountain...

I took this picture whilst driving along the coastal road between Stoney Point and Gordon's Bay, on the night of the Overberg fire that was destined to burn two houses and eliminate thousands of hectares of natural vegetation . I had just taken a picture as I left Kleinmond, of a radiant, shiny, white moon - it's clarity grabbed my attention. Jupiter and Venus were still visible on the horizon, so I pulled into Pringle Bay to try get steady pictures of them, with the idea of using the car to clamp the camera to.The wind was howling that night, and any attempt at stability was dashed because even the car was buffeted from side to side.
I was so glad I'd chosen to go out there in a car - riding the bike would have been disasterous! All along the road the smoke got thicker and it became difficult to breathe. Inside the car the air was stuffy, yet opening the window let in air that burnt my lungs! I had to get out, even if just for a moment - maybe standing out in that air would be different from the mobile stuffiness I called my car.
The odd colour of the moon, so recently white, demanded another pic.
