A devastating fire is not a nice thing, but it certainly gives the undergrowth a chance to come through. The Watsonias in Jonkershoek are especially beautifull and abundant this year ! http://static.panoramio.com/photos/original/124275034.jpg

Still beautiful after a devastating burn. Only Jonkershoek can pull that off. http://static.panoramio.com/photos/original/118842225.jpg http://static.panoramio.com/photos/original/118842231.jpg http://static.panoramio.com/photos/original/118842227.jpg http://static.panoramio.com/photos/original/118842220.jpg http://static.panoramio.com/photos/original/118842218.jpg http://static.panoramio.com/photos/original/118842223.jpg http://static.panoramio.com/photos/original/118842230.jpg http://static.panoramio.com/photos/original/118842234.jpg

It's foggin Cape Town !

Very nice shot !! If I were one of those three, I would want this on canvas for my wall !

Scala ! Old Marines training base in the 80's. I lost A LOT of sweat on that specific concrete road !

Either way, nicely done !

AN3, click on the photo name beneath the photo. That will open it in Flickr. On the right hand side you will see all the details. The lighter "band" around where some of the darker areas meet the lighter areas means some Photoshop work..

That's straight off the R310 just below Tokara ?

Just the other day I had to accommodate a rider overtaking his buddies up the hill at SFC/La Pineta/Louw se bos on the R44 (Somerset West to Stellenbosch) at 7:30 in the morning. That's the busiest time of the day on that road. He went about 300mm over the yellow line. He moved suddenly without lookin and without warning. To these riders: Please consider the emotional stress that the poor innocent driver has to go through for the rest of his life knowing he knocked down a rider that jumped infront of him, while you are enjoying the long comfortable back-road ride in the sky (where you may ride 10 abreast if you like ! .

Very true. If you going to hoot, do it well in advance. The hoot is probably going to cause the cyclist to try to look around to the right and that is going to cause him veer right.

I don't ride on the road anymore...not ever, But i did for very long and I've had my fair share of heartstopping experiences. Being a cyclist I'm very cycle concious on the road, but, eish, some of these roadies make it difficult not to stop a 100m in front of them and throw them with cow dung !! 2 Saturdays ago at the Klipheuwel intersection of R302 (from Durbanville) and R304 (to Malmesbury) early morning and in thick mist a group of about 6 to 8 cyclists ride in the direction of Malmesbury with 2 riders 500mm from the yellow line in my lane !! In the mist I was onto them so suddenly that I could not count them. I can be very lucky there was no oncoming traffic as I had to suddenly swerve ! Luckily 95% of cyclists are considerate and responsible. And don't even get me started on the 5 % of my fellow MTBers who don't know how to slow down for pedestrians, or, no matter how many times they have to brake sharp for oncoming cars and bicycles, still cannot figure out that Jonkershoek is anti clockwise .
