Taken yesterday evening, when it appears all the other locals were at Elmley... So I got this one all to myself without any other photog's sucking the colour out of my bit of sky... ;)

Hartbeespoort, informally also known as "Harties", is a small resort town in the North West Province of South Africa, situated on slopes of the Magaliesberg mountain and the banks of the Hartbeespoort Dam. The name of the town means "gateway of the hartbees" (a species of antelope) in Afrikaans. It was previously known as Schoemansville, named after General Hendrik Schoeman, a Boer General in the Anglo-Boer War, who owned the farm that the Hartbeespoort Dam was built on.
The town consists of holiday homes around the dam as it is popular with visitors from nearby Gauteng Province. It is home to the Om Die Dam (English: Around the dam) ultra marathon of 50 km, which takes place annually in the first half of the year.
this photo was taken from the paragliding stand on top of the dam.
The dam is 149.5 metres (163.5 yd) long and 59.4 metres (195 ft) high and is built across a gorge cutting through the Magaliesberg. The reservoir is fed by the waters of the Crocodile River and Magalies River and covers approximately 18.83 square kilometres (7.27 sq mi), with a mean depth of 9.6 metres (31 ft) and maximum depth of 45.1 metres (148 ft). It has a surface area of 20 square kilometres (7.7 sq mi), and its normal range of annual water level fluctuation is 0.8 metres (2.6 ft). The mixing type of the reservoir is monomictic.[8]
A single-laned, tarmac road skirts the water's edge on the north side; along its route it passes through a 56.6 m long tunnel and also crosses the dam.

Oare Marshes Nature reserve consists of a flat expanse of fresh and brackish water and marshland lying alongside the river Swale, which connects the Medway and Thames and isolates the Isle of Sheppy.
It is a magical place, steeped in history and wildlife.
Harty ferry, where the car park is, was once a crossing point to Sheppy,

SVITZER HARTY (IMO: 9366861) is a Tug that was built in 2006 sailing under the flag of United Kingdom.
Her carrying capacity is 150 t DWT and her current draught is reported to be 5.2 meters. Her length overall (LOA) is 24.55 meters and her width is 11.5 meters.
Harty Ferry is a delightful spot on The Swale about 1 mile north east of Faversham, which will suit walkers, boaters and bird watchers alike.
The Swale itself is not really a river, but a submerged valley, more of a Ria. It completely isolates the Isle of Sheppey and the tide flows into it from both ends. The opposing tidal forces meet somewhere in the region of Milton Creek..Harty Ferry.
At this point Harty Ferry, the Swale used to be crossed and the remains of two hards can be found one north bank and one on the south bank.

Svitzer Harty was built in the Netherlands in 2006, by Damen (another one...) and now working "up north" at Immingham on the south bank of the Humber Estuary. Immingham Docks are amongst the largest in the UK.

Harty Ferry used to have a ferry to the other side, Harty Ferry Sheppy, now it has the artesian well, all the way from Belgium, cool water!
I usually post black and white zebras in their natural environment, but I've run out of suitable images.
The decision was thus made to capture an ice cream in its natural environment as an experiment.
Shooting an ice cream at 1/160 sec proved to be barely fast enough to freeze it...
The other challenge was to make viewers believe that this shot was taken a very long time ago when people were still seeing everything in monochrome and their eyes were still developing to the stage where everything was properly focussed......
Shot for 7DWF: Mondays - Portraits and also so that people could have a Happy Monochrome Monday.
The Harty House an example of the two family stone houses that housed employees of the Long Pond Iron Works.
Hasted also records the existence of the ferry across The Swale to Oare on the mainland.[7] The old ferry is reflected in the name of the adjacent Inn. The rights to the ferry were, and still are, held by the landlord of the Ferry House Inn.[13] The southern, mainland, terminus was close to the villages of Oare and Uplees. Today the remains of the southern jetty are on the coast of the Oare Marshes nature reserve
Svitzer tugs Harty, London and Ganges on the River Thames, just east of Gravesend. Intrepid was just ahead of Harty, but out of picture. I failed to catch all four in one frame...
