Not a problem Stef, happy you are back and replying, hoping you're doing well!
Might come over to Bloem this month even, planning to visit my aunt, but I know now you are married and don't want to put you in trouble, so
its ok like this:) Be well and happy, Jen

Hi Jen,
Sorry for taking so long to reply. I've been qute busy. Its been almost a month since the last time I had the chance of picking up a camera. Thanks for the comment.
Its been dry, but we've had some good rain since this post. But the dry season is upon us now. Bloem is a summer rainfall area, so rain is becoming much less these days. However, if I listen to the farmers, I think we will be good enough for the winter.
Groete,
Stef

We are a summer rainfall area, hence the rains in January, whereas CT is a winter rainfall area. The garden route, however, gets rain all year round.
The problem we have in the freestate and in most of Africa is not the amount of rainfall(Bloem gets an average of about 500mm-550mm pa), but the evaporation rate, which is much higher than in other parts of the world. So if we dont get constant, regular rain, the world tends to dry out pretty quick.
You will find that most South Africans are usually very gratefull for the rain.
Yes, I live in Bloem in Langenhovenpark. Bayswater is quite a nice area, but still no patch to Clarens.

Hey Stef,
This is a beautifull image looking fairly simple to achieve but I know it isn't. I like for different reasons. Well done.
Grtz,

When I was there in January it was raining quite a lot! Much more then CT, although the Garden Route was more like a swimmingpool inland.. Do you live inside town? My aunt lives in Bayswater in a ealderly home, quite happy there:) They used to live in Clarens, quite a difference! xxJen

Hi Jen,
Thanks for all your comments and the time you spend on my work. I'm sorry I if I dont reply always(I try to), I'm just a bit busy at work these days, so I dont always have enough time for UF.
Please share your ideas with me, I would love to chat about it. Drop me a mail at ottolyden@gmail.com and I will respond, hopefully in time.
Cheers,
Stef

Thanks Jen,
This was actually taken about 60-70km northwest of Bloem, but yes, its a bit dry these days. We are hoping for some late summer rains.

Didnt want to say about not around much in Bloem..loll I thought so too, I just go there and visit my family and me and my aunt drinking coffee at Mimosa Mall:) I drove up there in January from Capetown, a long but interesting drive! I am planning to come back soon, as I love your country. Don't know if you feel like making some shots together, my email is at my profile, we could find some empty roads or train tracks..:) txs Jen
