Planes weekend with my son. First the Disney 3 D movie, then the Airforce museum. Found this rare gem there:

(sorry, pic too big, looks nice when opening in separate tab)

 

De Havilland Vampire. I saw them fly as a kid. I saw one fly with the Spitfire during an air show at Swartkops.

Yes, amazing plane. This one is in Cape Town. Kiddo called it "Dusty" as in the character in the Disney movie.

Taking over a luxury hotel in Cape Town... ( I love his "who cares about stiff upper lip? approach!"):

I saw this photo on twitter this morning as an acclaimed photo of Greg du Toit who's won wildlife photographer of 2013. There's no doubt the man is talented if you look at his other photos but I must admit, I don't get this one.

 

some of his other works

Yeah, saw his stuff, this morning, some incredible work there.

 

This one I don't get either, the slower shutter speed, point of view, composition and tint does not work for me

We lived in a flat in Hillbrow not far from there in the late seventies. My Son was born in the Florence Nightingale Hospital in 1976 very close to the tower of babel.

I think I do get this one

 

The way elephants move at night time is almost like I would imagine a ghost (in which I don't believe) would move. They often congregate from sunset to around midnight at waterholes. If you sit there and watch, they can appear and disappear with almost unbelievable ease. Now you see them, now you don't. Something in this picture reminds me of that.
