| That really was one huge piece of tree - shame about the electricity pole |

| No Exit from Salvation eh? |

| Enjoyed the name over the garage rather than the colour! |

| I couln't help wondering whether 3142 had a significance because it was obviously a 'treasured' plate |

I really liked every photo. is the third one someone's house? very unique, I like it!
ReplyDeleteDoreen the house in the third photo is a holiday home (called a bach - pronounced batch) but was big enough to be a family home.
DeleteLovely, lovely! The kayak kids remind me of mine own of course.
ReplyDeleteI don't suppose you can remember where the whale was?
The whale, Katherine? Of course. Silly me. I saw a bipedal dinosaur. It was at the end of Beach Road, Houhora.
DeleteI saw a dinosaur too. But is it a sculpture or just something nature created??
DeleteYou have some very eye catching shots today. Most enjoyable.
ReplyDeleteThanks Red
DeleteThe Salvation/no exit is great, time to take some personal responsibility!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely Cat.
DeleteAnd remember Cemetery Road, the one before Salvation Rd - or after, depending whether you were coming or going? You got a great shot of the two boys in the creek.
ReplyDeleteYes Pauline but I didn't manage to get a photo of it. I managed quite a few of the children - they were quite amusing at times.
DeleteA great selection of pictures, all of them special!
ReplyDeleteMy guess about the 3142 is that it is the car owner's date of birth: 3rd of January, 1942 (or 1st of March, 1942, depending on which way round they do it there).
Ah yes Meike. That would make sense. Here we do it DDMMYY. I really should have made that connection too.
DeleteThanks Adrian. Adrian came to the rescue and removed the pole from the first photo. I've amended the post accordingly. It looks so much better and, Katherine, it is a whale!
ReplyDeleteIt is a quick job.....been better using a high resolution image but not to worry.
DeleteDat is geen straf om daar te vertoeven wat een mooie natuur.
ReplyDeleteHet was een genoegen Nic.
DeleteBrilliant photos! But what happened to the pole?
ReplyDeleteAdrian worked his magic using Photoshop Frances. Pole gone and piece of tree grafted into its place. Who says that the camera never lies? It rarely tells the truth in actual fact.
DeleteLoved this hodge podge of wonderful photos.
ReplyDeleteAdrian to the rescue again...I may have to take some tutorials from him someday.
I liked them all but I loved the "They went thataway" shadow photo the best.
Yes Virginia that rather amused me at the time too.
DeleteI like them all. The Salvation Road No Exit is a great sign. Even greater if the yellow house was on that road...
ReplyDeleteThanks Monica. The yellow house was next to the bach we were staying in.
DeleteWell, they're both great signs, even separately :) I was just thinking that together they'd make a really awesome address...
DeleteThat Salvation Road sign has to be one of the photos of the year!
