Thats just around the corner from me… lovely!

Firefly (284 comments.) - July 30, 2010 - 9:06 am

I really like the second pic of the path with the sun. The sunsets up there are always a little better with the smoggyness around.

MaritzaPB - July 30, 2010 - 8:49 am

Lovely pics. Have some wonderful memories of that place. If you need a a safe and open vantage point for both the city and Sandton, let me know. World’s View has some great options. Would love to see what you can do with it at night and dawn/dusk.

Sharon (60 comments.) - July 30, 2010 - 8:41 am

These are lovely Jeanette. That first shot of the tower is my fav

Avril (Mom) (23 comments.) - July 30, 2010 - 7:43 am

Oh wow !! That second photo is stunning with the sun cupped like that … and the colours !

Shereen Jacobs - July 30, 2010 - 6:14 am

Nick (1 comments.) - July 29, 2010 - 10:04 pm

Stunning views! I thought Joburg was flat!

Kerry - July 29, 2010 - 9:46 pm

Breathtaking photographs, well done! And well done on MAKING the time to take them, in your very hectic life. We could all learn from that…

cat@juggling act (218 comments.) - July 29, 2010 - 9:45 pm

Oh Jenty, they are all beautiful, but that second one is sure poetry.

Henti (16 comments.) - July 29, 2010 - 9:24 pm

151/365 – Golden Sunset

Posted in Personal Tags: Project 365, sunset, view

The sunset this evening was particularly spectacular, so I HAD to stop on the way home to take a photo. I know, the setting sun seems to be a theme for me this week

You can see the light glinting off the cars in the road on the first one. I considered cropping it out, but it looked unbalanced without it.

Gorgeous sky! Yes, the cars don’t ruin the picture at all. Just beautiful!

Angel (192 comments.) - June 4, 2010 - 9:49 pm

I love the glint off the cars. It looks almost surreal!

Janet B (55 comments.) - June 4, 2010 - 1:41 pm

Jackie K - June 4, 2010 - 11:32 am

Firefly (284 comments.) - June 4, 2010 - 9:38 am

I vote you leave it as is. The lights do add context. Awesome pics.

Lee-anne Griessen - June 3, 2010 - 8:00 pm

Awesome, I just love these Joburg sunsets

Melanie janse (12 comments.) - June 3, 2010 - 7:48 pm

148/365 – Fiery African Skies

Posted in Personal Tags: Project 365, sky, sunset, tree, veld, view

I just LOVE the sunsets at this time of year, and I was in the perfect spot in the traffic this afternoon to stop at the park where we take the dogs walking to get these photos. And to top it off, I managed to get the cabbage tree silhouetted… and they’re my favourite indigenous tree that grows in the area.

I can’t wait for the “Day After” shoot I’m doing on Saturday in the veld

They are pretty aren’t they. I do love the one with the grass.

cat@juggling act (218 comments.) - June 1, 2010 - 3:12 pm

Oh these are stunning!

Firefly (284 comments.) - June 1, 2010 - 10:17 am

I like the sunsets this time of year because they are earlier and you don’t have to go out for them as late as in summer. Same with sunrises. Beautiful pics.

Eileen (11 comments.) - May 31, 2010 - 9:33 pm

WOW! Stunning images:)

Avril (Mom) (385 comments.) - May 31, 2010 - 9:29 pm

Wow – nice ! Didn’t see the sunset today – missed something special Why don’t you plant a cabbage tree?

Mike - May 31, 2010 - 9:26 pm

Awesome pics!

Fiona - May 31, 2010 - 8:37 pm

Oh these are stunning! The 1st one could be a postcard. Very nice

106/365 – Scouting for inspiration

I went on a bit of a jaunt today to find some inspiration for a wedding I’m photographing in 2 weeks time. I did find some promising spots, I must admit

I’m with Mishi.. The DOF in the first one is amazing.
Gorgeous shots!

Sarah (9 comments.) - April 18, 2010 - 7:18 pm

Wow. I love that padlock shot. The rest of the scouting trip is amazing as well!

Secret Agent Mama (86 comments.) - April 18, 2010 - 4:19 pm

I’d definitely call that a successful scout!!

I love that first shot. The DOF is INSANE. Is that taken with your 50mm? or did you get an 85mm?

WackyMummy (30 comments.) - April 18, 2010 - 3:18 pm

Nice closeups. I’d love to photograph a wedding in the last shot! Great idea. =)

Tara R. (58 comments.) - April 18, 2010 - 1:15 pm

Love the bike seat shot, and the fence… very intriguing.

Avril (Mom) (385 comments.) - April 18, 2010 - 10:09 am

78/365 – Birthday celebration at Forum Homini

Posted in Personal Tags: animal, hotel, Project 365, sunset, view, water, Weekly Winners

We planned this weekend months ago with our friends Madi and Pierre. You see Lance turned 40 last weekend, and Pierre’s 40th birthday is next weekend. It was the perfect excuse to go away for a night to Forum Homini in the Cradle of Humankind. Yes, we’ve been there before, and we enjoyed it so much that we had to go back again

One night only, because it’s expensive… and your stomach would never cope with eating that amount of excellent food for 2 days in a row!

And on the subject of food… it was good, very good! Dinner was a 6 course affair with wine teasers chosen for each dish, and included a honeydew soup with truffle foam, deep fried risotto, rooibos smoked beef fillet and ended with blue cheese ice-cream with honeycomb. Oh and then breakfast of course was just as filling with 4 courses including a frozen yoghurt and poached fruit with chocolate shavings… and then salmon frittata… before a full English breakfast.

Because it was their birthdays, when we got back to the suite after supper, there was an enormous bunch of roses on the table, and the bed had rose petals on it… very romantic

Pierre and Madi while we were sitting on the deck having drinks in the afternoon.

We took a walk in the late afternoon…

We were so very lucky to see the resident hippos! You get warned not to go walking after sunset because the hippos come out the water, and last time we went we didn’t even see them. We saw 3 this time… and they were watching us pretty closely so we didn’t want to get too close to them… I could have done with a longer lens actually.

This is the hotel, as taken from the bridge… the dam with the hippos was behind me at the time. Just beyond the small dam, you can see little pieces of wall… those are the suites that we stayed in… the hotel is built to blend into the environment and veld/grasses have been planted on the roof of every building.

Oh and then my favourites… the sunsets… the sky was absolutely magnificent last night!!
