Energy!

Stunning

It is a long drive from Johannesburg to Durban, but there was some stunning South African scenery along the way – Now I am back on Thanda!

Bloody Face!

One of my favorite animal portraits – This Lioness just finished her Giraffe dinner (first course!) – The Lions must have killed the Giraffe just minutes before we arrived, judging by the color of the blood.

Contrasts

Warm – Cold | Rough – Smooth | Right – Left | Happy – Sad | Cramped – Spacious

A day of contrasts – Coming from the cold of a German autumn to the warm temperatures of a Pretoria summer – changing from the smooth ride of my dad’s Renault to my rather rugged Fortuner – moving from the right side of the road to the left – being happy to be back in South Africa and being a bit sad to have to leave my family and friends in Europe – enjoying the space in the Gautrain from Johannesburg Airport to Pretoria after the 11 hour ‘torture’ in a economy plane seat, which is far to small for me:-)

Well, I love change and these contrasts are rather invigorating. The hot shower, a Peking Duck for lunch and my mum’s poppy seed cake for desert helps to improve the spirit even further!
From tomorrow Wildlife will be back on the ‘posting menu’ 🙂

PS: Today’s pictures show me on the Gautrain.

An iPhone travel journal – Day 9 – The Last Day

Wednesday – The Last Leaves

After an excellent lunch with my older brother and my parents in Switzerland I took a few Autumn images on the way to Germany. This tree is loosing its leaves fast as Autumn turns into Winter. And I will be leaving Europe in a few hours. See you next year!

An iPhone travel journal – EXTRAS

I have only published one iPhone image per day on my travel blog. Some of you have asked me if these are all the pictures I took. Well, here are some of the EXTRAS.

Today, I will be flying back to South Africa. I am a bit sad of leaving Europe and my Family already, but I am also looking forward to getting back to South Africa and home to Thanda. I am planning to return in May 2016.

I hope you enjoyed this short travel blog, which turned a bit into a ‘great eating in Europe’ blog :-). It was interesting to work exclusively with my iPhone 6 Plus. It gives one a lot of freedom (not carrying a lot of equipment and having great editing tools instantly available), but it also showed me the limitations. A good experience.

I will post the last pictures of this trip this afternoon!
