Great pics Diana and Leon. Should be thinking about starting a scrapbook and putting all these historic photos into book form. Would make an amazing presentation in hard copy which could be paid for out of book sales.
Best wishes

Went through the photos properly today, so must has changed since then. Will have to go and check out the spot.

Diana Rudd (Boehme) · March 23, 2009, 06:30:05 PM

Wow Daddy Georg.....That video is amazing, found myself getting all sentimental here. I never new my Grandfather as he passed away in his 50's before I was born. To think that was 80 odd years ago. I can't wait to show my Aunt Inge what you have done with these photo's. I watched it on "full screen" and was amazed at the detail you don't pick up looking at the "little" photo.
Thanx so much.

Michael Alexander · March 23, 2009, 07:53:06 PM

Wow! Georg, I got it right, the tune in the background makes it all seem so depressing, a lost era..... gone forever..... pioneers in the Namib..... this is really good stuff...Thanks Diana, Leon and Georg, stirling work!

Clint when you go and check out Elizabeth Bay see if you can track down Grandpa Boehme's cottage. It may be one of the 3 closest to the old workshop. It may still have the little picket fence at the left of the front door.
