I started through the sugar cane fields and then ended up on the beach, desiring to capture the red ball sink down behind the Mdloti River and I just missed it; too much delirious joy while ‘skiing’ through sand. 

I’d never experienced that before – my Jimny (or any other vehicle I’ve driven or been driven in) sliding through soft sand and the enjoyment of trying to control it, which is of course impossible. However, I was alone so deeply mindful of getting stuck and only skirted along the edges of the recently ploughed cane fields. 

What a sensation; worth missing the sunset for.

Indeed I’ll be back out there catching the setting sun soon! Perhaps even tomorrow after work.

Hello Nicola,

I love the photograph with the golden sun slipping down behind the sugar cane flowers in the front. It’s such a warm, almost syrupy photograph. 

Your Jimny is taking you to many new places to explore and enjoy, armed with your camera and artistic talent. Thank you for sharing the photographs.

Hi Peter,

Thank you for appreciating me sharing my adventures.

I cannot wait for my Jimny to take me to the one’s I’ve planned in Southern Africa – lands never yet set eyes on.
