As Winter keeps creeping closer we’ve been having some odd weather. The past few weeks brought us lots of rain. More than the previous years. And to many people this signals a cold winter.
This was taken a short walk from where I live. The wind tends to blow from the south east which is to the right in the image. The cold fronts come up from the Western Cape which starts happening in May and June. I’m looking forward to walking cold empty streets with my camera this year.
This is my favorite image.
It’s a hall which is used for amateur boxing training & matches. It used to be in a terrible state a few years ago when illegal squatters moved in and took up residence inside the building.
In the two years it has been cleaned up and fixed. Boxing is a popular sport in the West Rand area. The two trees in the foreground are witstinkhout (Celtis Africana). The leaves on some of the trees are already turning yellow which makes for great photos.
