The area I live in

[Dalene Steenkamp (Coetzee)]

Tell us about the area you live in.  Post a few pics.  I think this way we can serve as a possible holiday guide to other people should they like to travel and visit your home town or surroundings.

For now a small view of the Kalahari veld

1.  A Witgat tree.  Dry season in the Kalahari, as you can see.

2.  A view on my garden that I sculp between the Acacia trees  -  try to do the best with limited water

3.  Sunrise in the Kalahari

4.  A vlei dam on our farm after recent rains

Da,lene, that's amazing, probably means nothing to anyone who has never been to the Kalahari, but I appreciate it all, especially your  garden, well done you.....

Can't post this in the Mini Garden topic  -  mine is not in O/Mund, but another small view on my garden here in the dry Kalahari.  As you can see, I make use of the indiginous Acacia trees for shade and protection.

Almost looks like CT  -  after recent rains  -  clouds over the mountains here in our Kalahari region.

One of the dams on the farm  -  the "damskrop" is nearly submerged totally  -  that specific dam still needs to be deepened, but before it was completed, the rains came down, so..............  just wait till the water goes down to get it out and complete the task.  Luckily I am not doing that!

@ Dalene

Thanks for the pics

Reminds me of all my trips down south, we always had rain, unbeleivable also in the Kalahari, heavy rain indeed

2006 was the worst for touring

[Dalene Steenkamp (Coetzee)]

After the recent rains  -  can you believe this is the Northern Cape / Kalahari region ?

[georgswa (Georg Ruf) (RIP)]
