ROADTRIP TO NAM, ZAM, BOTS

We've just completed 6400 kilometres with our Subaru Forester through Namibia, Zambia and Botswana. Wow, what a journey that was! Here are a few photos...

THEEWATERSKLOOF DAM

We went on a 4x4 adventure with Scrappy, our Subaru, to Theewaterskloof Dam. What we found was that we could drive at the bottom of the dam... on the sand where the water used to be. Crazy!

HANDS & FYNBOS

We did a beautiful hike at Cape Nature's Kogelberg between Betty's Bay and Kleinmond. It started drizzling towards the end but luckily the rain didn't catch us.

I can definitely highly recommend Kogelberg Nature Reserve! Cape Nature's doing such a great job in conservation, signage and creating great hikes. Plus, the reception area with offices and public bathrooms has just been built and its wooden design is gorgeous and modern.

Photos were taken with my beautiful film camera, Minolta X-700.

WE DID IT!

Photo was taken by the amazing Tabitha from Illuminate Photography. She made us feel like ten million bucks and took the photos at one of our favourite places, Silvermine. 

EXPLORING LANGEBAAN

I finally downloaded my photos from my Lumix camera of our December holidays. We had a few days off before Christmas and headed to Langebaan with friends, located an hours drive from Cape Town. It's such a magnificent little town but also visually so strange. It doesn't have a "small town" kind of feeling and looks more like a suburb built close to a lagoon or ocean.

Windsurfers, surfers and kite surfers definitely rule this town. Langebaan is an exciting place for water-sports lovers. Luckily, our holiday house was a 3-minute walk from a small cove and beach so we were really spoilt. James tried some kite surfing and I was taught how to kayak.

Overall if you love to get out and get wet, Langebaan is perfect for you!

SUMMER WAS GOOD TO US

FINALLY DEVELOPED SOME FILM PHOTOS AGAIN

I had the spool in my camera for a while... and finally picked up the photos today.

WHEN CATHERINE MARRIED ROI

A MONTH ON FILM

My brother sourced the camera that I first started taking photos with in order to re-kindle my love for photography. He found the beautiful Minolta x700, which my dad used to keep in a silver case at the bottom of his bookshelf, on eBay in a good condition. 

The camera is heavy enough to sit comfortably in my hands, and it's light enough to lug around in my handbag. When I spy through the 50mm lens, the colours appear magical. 

I'm still getting used to the camera but here are some of my attempts. It appears that my love for taking pictures is sticking around like a rumble in the jungle.
