I took this picture in a particularly desolate and arid part of the Eastern Cape, between Steytlerville and Jansenville some years ago. What struck me was the name on the gate "Vrede" - that is the Afrikaans word for peace.
It got me thinking that peace obviously means different things to different people.
I love the solitude, the beauty and the aridness of the area..........but I am not so sure that it would be my idea of peace. I have also reached that stage in life where I like my creature comforts and would start getting restless after a while.
But there is no denying that someone found peace here.
What is your idea of peace?
