South African gems

October 19, 2013 by Melanie Walker

Someone who over the years has never failed to amaze me with his work. And if you haven't discovered this particular gem, I reckon you're all the poorer for not having seen South Africa through his eyes – http://obieoberholzer.net/ and for all his latest thoughts, musings and pictures – https://www.facebook.com/Oberholzer.Obie?hc_location=stream. And for pictures of a totally different kind, done in lipstick by a rather interesting blonde – http://lipstickart.wordpress.com/ – sometimes very very blonde, but always manages to touch my heart – https://www.facebook.com/sarah.britten?fref=ts

About Melanie Walker

I’m one of those odd people who, despite travelling the world, hasn’t actually moved all that far. I’m living in the house I pretty much grew up in and doubt that I’ll ever really leave it! Like most people who live in ‘Gangsta’s Paradise’, I have a love/hate relationship with the city. The thing I hate the most are the obnoxious drivers who litter our road, so if you’re ever in my hood and you’re confronted with a blonde who stops to point out you're in the wrong, steer clear.… I love that we have so many trees (and if one more person points out that, hey, like, shoo wow, we have the largest man-made forest in the world here, I’ll throw up on myself!) and that so many people are getting into the groove and getting not only indigenous but endemic – after all, I’m a serious gardener…
