Title: My Green Oranjemund - This Afternoon's Walk!
Post by: Michael Alexander on February 09, 2009, 04:25:39 PM
Well me and my best friend Shadow went for a walk this afternoon, I thought it best to take along the camera, take some snaps of the town whilst it is still green, nothing special, just the route we walked and the greenery..... Not bad for a place in the desert.....

There are three sizes on the resize tool I use, for the three different standard pc screen sizes,,,,, Georg alwasy takes a dig at me on the size I use, my pc screen here is 1024x768 , wide screen, so I use that setting on the resize tool by default, also, the resolution in the pic is higher.... bad habit i guess.... but at least the quality in the pic is not lost....

Mike, picture 18, are these new houses built after '82? Look very modern, I must say.
Title: Re: My Green Oranjemund - This Afternoon's Walk!
Post by: Michael Alexander on February 16, 2009, 05:30:57 PM
Yep, quite modern, built about 3 or 4 years back.... on the spot between the practice range and the E section of 1st to 5th avenue... Even these buildings are emptying out now...
