Naked flight


Aiden behaving himself before bath-time while a concerned Ange prevents Evan from getting landed on.

The Elephant in yellow



This is the Elephant in Shenzhen - its a super-nice dimsum restaurant, with a very groovy decor and light.

Wet car on a misty night




Last night was super misty as cold air collided with the day's warm and humid above our house. We had a braai and sat outside with Jens and Camilla and ate in the finest of very fine rain. When they left I saw this car in the parking lot - super even droplets and nice lines. The last two photos below are identical - the camera was in the same postition on a tripod - they are just lit from different sides. Design dependent on light. Hope you like them.

A bit of space for the Maggs clan?

Hope you don't mind - I thought I'd use a bit of space on your blog for a message for my cuzzies: Tx, LD

Africa Prints



I'm going to get this photo of you and Aiden and some big Africa landscape prints done on vinyl for our house at a new print place that I found in Chaiwan - I think they are going to be super groovy - here the others are - the tide going out of the Knysna lagoon and two from KZN from a little photo-drive I went on with your Gran which she might remember. Africa has got THE light - nothing that I've seen at any stage in Asia can compare.






Off to mainland China now - Shenzhen - should be a nice day's adventure - I'll take some picks for you, starts with a train ride to Lo Wu, and then into the Great Building Site.

Holding up


Happy new year - I hope its a really good one for all of us. No great news from this side - another melting time hol - day. I've been woefully ill-disciplined; failed to even make a start on building the boat engine stand I intended to complete between Christmas and here. I did get it together to go to some friends of our's house to dismantle, pack onto and into and around my car, drive home, carry upstairs and reassemble a bunk bed for Aiden and Evan. Aiden was so excited that he was quivvering. Needless to say he sleeps on the top. Ev has no say, and is currently still confined to his cot because Ange does not want him roaming around in the middle of the night - which I concede he would do. Hope you're having a good time.
