JHB is a great SA city, always has been and always will be, and for me anyway, arguably the best African city ever.

 

I feel the same Grumpy.

I love the place, always have been, it has some buildings with great historic significance.

I often go there to take photos and to the editing in a way that it looks like days gone by.

 

Here is one of those, cycled past here yesterday as well,just off Arts on Main.

Thats a darn nice photo, you are very talented Wyatt, you should make up a collage of prints and ask if you can display it in one of the malls around JHB, or even at Oliver Tambo somewhere, I think it would be a lovely attraction.

Do you carry a camera with you on your rides Dangle. As usual this is a majestic image. You are bloody good.

Not to derail the thread, but who could forget swimming at the old indoor heated swimming pool in hillbrow, you had to walk down about 200 stairs it was so far underground and was heated by running the water through pipes heated by huge coal powered furnaces, it was an Olympic size and was heated to around 30 degrees years round, cost a princely R2.00 to get in. Later it went up to R5.00.

 

After a swim we would go have coffee and the best cake at one of the coffee lounges around (think thick heavy chairs and lots of newspapers, magazines and waiters in formal black and white outfits) and then go for a lamb Schwarma with all the best trimmings at Mi Va Mi in the main street, they were open 24 hours a day and were packed solid for all 24 hours, then a few hours at Estoril books and home.

Hillbrow was the spot. Used to catch a bus into town to go to the Chelsea Underground and watch eVoid!

Jonkershoek awesomeness.

Thanks Vetseun, that particular shot was taken when the family and myself went there for lunch one Sunday.

Rest of the shots are from an i-phone 5.

I would love to get permission from the City of Johannesburg to collect images for an exhibition on their behalf.

Any hubbers here know someone you can put me in contact with

Jonkershoek today (Heritage Day), Welvanpas on Sunday. Two of the best rides in SA!

[Wyatt Earp]

Today we opted for a less hilly route and went to the beautiful City of Pretoria.

From Midrand to Rooihuiskraal, Valhalla, Voortrekker Monument, Sunnyside, Fountains, Klapperkop, Rigel Aveneu, past Waterkloof High, Irene, Midstream and back to Midrand.

 

 

In Midrand.
