Clouds and Steel

My third attempt at HDR. The storing towers at Moordrift Dairy, Limpopo.

Moordrift Dairy is the oldest Dairy in The limpopo province. The entrance to the Dairy is directly opposite the spot where the Moordrift massacre occured more than a 150 years ago. 23 boers including their children were murdered. The trees surrounding the present memorial are also national monuments. It is said that the heads of the children were bashed against the tree stumps until they were dead.

"In 1854 Mokopane, who was known as a rainmaker and a sangoma, wanted the intestines of a big white hunter to make traditional medicines for his own hunters. He attacked a white hunting party at Moorddrift and killed everyone except Hendrik Potgieter whom he captured and later skinned alive".
