Once upon a time....

In a country far far away. So the story should start anyway. I received some stunning photographs from a friend of mine in South Africa. She looks stunning, and her personality is more beautiful than words can ever describe.

These pictures to me represent the natural beauty of my country. Even though there are several foreign countries trying to keep it subdued and chained through politics, it will still remain my country, and my heart will always be with it's people.

The first picture is from the Knysna Forest. It is located in the Eastern Cape, and it is one of the few treasures that only a handful of foreigners have ever seen.

The second one is a close up of a protea flower, which once upon a time used be one of our national emblems. It is a rare flower, and normally expensive when bought in a bouquet.

Barkley is a magical part of the Cape Province with a sense of beauty that takes your breath away, and makes you think about man's place in this world.

Knysna is a small town located next to the Knysna Forest, and reminds me of the small island towns in Greece and Cypress.
