Die berge buite Montagu soos jy deur die poort ry is absoluut asemrowend. In die Jouberthuis Museum op die dorp hang 'n ou foto van dieslefde berg as in die foto hierbo. Die vrou wat daar werk het gesien dat ek na die foto staan en kyk en vra toe of ek die gedig "Waar ruwe rotse" … Continue reading Waar ruwe rotse

Drakensberg wandelpad – Die Wandellied
Vir die een of ander rede het ek vandat ek met RaakREIS begin het en bloginskrywings in Afrikaans doen, skielik baie van die ou Afrikaanse Volksliedjies begin onthou as ek na van my fotos kyk. Dis eintlik hartseer dat ons dit nie meer so baie sing soos wat ons gedoen het jare terug nie. Hierdie foto is geneem … Continue reading Drakensberg wandelpad – Die Wandellied
Daar’s ‘n hoender wat ‘n eier nie kan lê
Daar's 'n hoender wat 'n eier nie kan lê,daar's 'n hoender wat 'n eier nie kan lê, daar's 'n hoender wat 'n eier nie kan lê,dis die haan wat op die kerk se toring staan.

I knew the pink flowers only appeared in autumn after good rains, which is something that doesn't happen much. I prepared, checked my camera, checked my batteries... Arriving at the location there wasn't any … Continue reading Pink baby unicorn

It consists of a number of shops and eateries housed in timber buildings similar to those the woodcutters and gold miners in the area used to live … Continue reading Fairy Garden

The Princess and the Frog
For a while now I've been wanting to see if I can get the kids to play along and let me take photos pertaining to nursery rhymes, kids tales and what ever else comes to mind. Problem is I just never got around to it. On our visit to Bayworld the other day, there was … Continue reading The Princess and the Frog
