South Africa is on fire. Taxi-/ bus war in the Cape Town area and riots in the Pretoria/ Johannesburg area.

From a distance it looks like symptoms of a civil war.

In 2003 I lived some 80km east of Cape Town in a little town called Gordons Bay. There is highway that runs between the two places which is called the N2. Along the N2 you can find a couple of townships like Khayelitsha and Mitchells Plain. I had an internship in South Africa together with other Dutch students. One of the Dutch girls was dating a black guy who lived in a township. She was about to celebrate her birthday in the township and invited me to her birthday party. Other Dutch (white) students didn't feel safe to go there but I (non white/ channel 9 Asian Invasion) wanted to see the township and wanted to see how he lived.

So she gave directions: N2, exit Gugulethu. I had the shitiest car of southern Africa (rusty old 1960s VW Beetle) so that didn't attract to much attraction. We drove past a bigass cemetery. People were living in sheds around the cemetery. We arrived at his place and he introduced me to his family. His mom was ill. So this guy was playing in a band which was invited all around the world to perform. He showed a photobook with him in all the big cities around the globe. Hard working guy and obviously very talented and succesful. I was thinking: how is it possible you still live in a township? Some people get paid, some don't and it is not an honest 'system'. I can imagine that can be very frustrating. I work for a gambling/ lottery company now but let me tell you this: when you are born in 'the west' you already won the lottery. In SA you can't just 'work' your way out.

I hope it settles down and better times will come for the people of South Africa.

The view out the window as we were landing back in CT, from Durbs, on the 26th.

I always feel happy coming back to CT after a spell away, but this time it really, really, felt like coming home.

Also: oops, missed a month or so of posting.

Mainly through lack of pictures to post - taking steps to rectify this almost immediately! :)

Ya probably didn't know that telephoto lenses were good for landscapes, but as you can see, if you get about 10 miles away from your subject, they work perfectly for landscapes. :^P

Small shrub of bilberry seen on Szczeliniec in The Table Mountains :)

Bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus) is a species of shrub with edible fruit of blue color, more precisely called common bilberry or blue whortleberry. It is found natively in Europe, northern Asia, Greenland, Iceland, Western Canada, and the Western United States. It occurs in the wild on heathlands and acidic soils. Its berry has been long consumed in the Old World. It is related to the widely cultivated North American blueberry. Vaccinium myrtillus fruits has been used for nearly 1,000 years in traditional European medicine for treatment of disorders of the gastrointestinal tract and diabetes. In cooking, the bilberry fruit is commonly used for the same purposes as the American blueberry such as pies, cakes, jams, muffins, cookies, sauces, syrups, juices, and candies.

Mały jagodowy krzaczek rosnący na jednej ze skał na Szczelińcu :)

Borówka czarna (Vaccinium myrtillus) – gatunek rośliny wieloletniej z rodziny wrzosowatych. Ma wiele nazw zwyczajowych, m.in. jagoda, czarna jagoda, czernica. Roślina jest szeroko rozprzestrzeniona w Azji, Europie i Ameryce Północnej na obszarach o klimacie umiarkowanym i arktycznym. W Polsce jest pospolita zarówno na nizinach, jak i w górach. Jest wykorzystywana szeroko jako roślina jadalna i lecznicza. Znaczenie gospodarcze borówki czarnej pozostaje wysokie mimo silnej konkurencji znacznie bardziej plennych borówek północnoamerykańskich, których owoce mają uboższy skład chemiczny od czernicy. Owoce borówki czarnej były od dawna bardzo istotne dla Słowian i ludów północnej Europy. Używano jej owoców jako lekarstwa przy biegunkach i krwawej dyzenterii. Zastosowanie takie utrzymało się w lecznictwie ludowym, przy czym często zalecano je także w większych dawkach przeciw owsikom. Ponadto owoce borówki czarnej oferowane i spożywane są w postaci świeżej, suszonej, mrożonej oraz jako składnik przetworów takich jak dżemy, ciasta, soki oraz ciekłe lub sproszkowane koncentraty, będące suplementem diety. Przetwory z jagód wyróżniają się długą trwałością.
