Skywatch Friday - Synagogue sunrise

The historic Edward Street Synagogue in Richmond Hill, photographed on an early morning walk, as the sun started rising. The ominous looking clouds in the background opened up a few minutes later and Sue and I had to run for cover.

Bringing in the harvest

These Northern Harvester Termites are hard at working stocking their larder. And I would not like to get onto the wrong end of the nippers of that fellow with the red head.

The area is full of evidence of the activities of the aardvarks, so it is very likely that these termites could end up as the main course one evening.

Only a cat

Is this why it is called a recliner.................?

Skywatch Friday - Heavy metal and blue skies

I am featuring a two different views of the skies this week....................

A machine gun looking very menacing on the INS Tabar, which was docked in Port Elizabeth last weekend as part of a joint South African, Brazilian and Indian naval exercise.

A view of the giant flag at the Donkin Reserve, looking over the roofs of historical houses in Central.

Rust bucket

You would have to be a real adventurer to go out in a rust bucket like this one. It is quite a contrast to the well maintained naval ships I had just visited.

I somehow think that this ship will not be having any more adventures at sea.
