Thought this made for a cool photograph… Just managed to get one photo before my camera battery was totally depleted!

She was staying at her holiday home in Hermanus with my younger cousin, so she gave me a call and an hour and a half later I was there in Hermanus having a nice break from the usual Stellenbosch antics!

I was only in Hermanus for 2 days or so but managed to get out to take some photos on Sunday morning whilst everyone was still fast asleep… I just couldn’t miss the opportunity of getting some awesome photos, so here are they are.

Obviously it isn’t real but it is a very clever marketing stunt by Hi-Tec… Since the video went viral and has had over 5million views, not bad going Hi-Tec! Really cool video as well… not to mention the South African in the video!

5 Stars from me!

It was a pretty cold morning and the town was covered in a blanket of mist which made me want to bring out my camera! So I thought I better head out and try take some photos before the mist disappears!

I ended up stopping at Stark-Conde Nektar Farm and I managed to get a couple nice shots. Take a look at the photos below…

Everyday, think as you wake up, ‘today I am fortunate to have woken up, I am alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, to expand my heart out to others, to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings, I am going to have kind thoughts towards others, I am not going to get angry or think badly about others, I am going to benefit others as much as I can.’  The wise words of the Dalai Lama

Pretty damn stupid don’t you think… because Stellenbosch is so beautiful! So yesterday I decided to go out and get going.  I headed to Lazerac and took a few quick shots just to get rid of my guilt and get me going again.

Nothing that special just yet but I just needed to recover from my almost 2 year procrastination!
