Standing on the edge of the world

May 20th, 2009 / 1 Comment » / by Gregor Rohrig

When driving through Namibia (and those who have done this will agree) it feels as though one is moving closer towards the end of the world. The landscapes become so surreal, arid, and vast that they make you feel minute with a sense of complete humility and admiration of nature’s powerful capabilities.

This picture was taken at the Bogenfels, located in the coastal Namib Desert within the restricted Diamond-Area.

A view from above (thanks to Google Earth) will give you a good idea of the lands’ steep drop off into the ocean.

Row Row Row Your Boat in Johannesburg

I love the contrast between the beautiful park, the happy family in the boat, and the structures of harsh reality looming on the horizon: The Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Hospital and the Hillbrow Tower.

Helen Zille’s Visit to the Houghton Primary School Voting Station

April 23rd, 2009 / 1 Comment » / by Gregor Rohrig

Helen Zille visits

Whilst waiting in the queue to cast my 2009 SA Election vote a black 4×4 drove up to the line of patently waiting voters, and out stepped Helen Zille, leader of the Democratic Alliance party. She walked along the the waiting crowd, greeted some people, had briefs chats with others, and then got back into her vehicle heading towards the next voting station. Her 2 minutes visit was quite random, but she nevertheless showed up with a smile on her face wishing us all happy voting!

After all the excitement, I desperately needed a sip of my ANC water just to calm my nerves before making my mark on the ballot paper!
