Play the Shadows

Steps to Ruin

Another small Ruin I found in Botshabelo.

Searching for Treasure

Chained to Stone

I awake to the morning
the sun breaks through the
soft haze of newly-formed mist

shadows start to play
slowly creeping nearer
the edge to my bed

as i rise a painful throb
in and near my heart
a slow building pressure

i know what it is
years of self-righteous isolation
a dam waiting to burst

reach for the sharpness of steel
so near my side; as if placed for
a purpose

press ever deeper through bone
then marrow as blood begins
to trickle.. a pool by my side

ever deeper.. it seperates into softness
a sudden burst and relief sets in
i rise and wipe away the tears

another life awaits

Descent Into Ruin

Giant Mushrooms

There's an abundance of all kinds of Fungi at Botshabelo. Someone left these two in a store. The one on the left is just a tad larger than my one hand.

Power Lanscape

I took B to Botshabelo this weekend to give her the opportunity to enjoy what I experienced during my trip there in December. It was also a chance for me to take a different set of photos; more of Nature and less old buildings. Apart from us being without power for the entire 4 days, it was still worth it.

We passed no less than five power stations on our trip back from Middelburg(MP) to Jhb.
