Latest work!

I have been quiet for a while but here is some more recent work. I get anxious when I think of all the beautiful places out there, hidden away in small towns. They are crumbling away, disappearing and who is to know of them when there are so little to remind us of  what was.

Endangered places

A look at some places in South Africa, mostly those put up by generations past. Buildings that have managed to escape the loving touch of developers or their owner's urge for beautrification.
