Not only was today Election day in South Africa, but it’s also Earth Day, and as I mentioned a few days ago, there’s a little project on the go called Earthmosaic.  I just had to play along, and take some photos today to submit to the mosaic.

I took the first one at home in my garden.  It’s an indigenous flower called a Osteopermum.

Then after lunch (my mom and sister came over for a braai/barbeque), my mom and I hopped in the car to Honeydew to find a spot to take some photos.  A guy who owns a plot next to the strip of veld where we were taking photos, chatted to us and said we should wait for the sunsets… but we’ll have to go back for those shots another day… we needed to get to the polling station to cast our vote!

I just love the light in the photos… these are basically SOOC just with a little contrast added.
