But do not touch the fence - it is electrified!


Game Park


As a birthday treat, Odessa and I are spending the night at the Kragga Kamma Game Park. It is just 4km from home. We were greeted by a friendly lynx.

One-ear thief


As if to tease, or as a joke, the robbers took one each of 8 pairs of earrings.

Spare parts


My old acer was badly damaged when dropped by a would-be burgler. Now it is good for play (and spare parts).

Facing the wind?


This is an unretouched photograph taken from a moving vehical with my Sony-Ericsson K850i. The camera was held perfectly horizontally and, no, the man did not fall.

High speed tilts


This is a vertical signpost at the left roadside photographed while travelling at 120km/h. The digital camera scans the image from top to bottom thus distorting the moving subject. (Odessa is driving the car.)

Road hogs


We waited behind a truck full of 3 week old piglets. Fortunately it was not to hot for them.

Hold-up


An overturned truck caused an hour long delay
