Geometry

"Geometry is a branch of mathematics that studies the sizes, shapes, positions, angles, and dimensions of things," is a picturesque explanation - a graphic description.

A winding road

Image
For many, a picture of a winding road can be an invitation. The question, where is this road going?, opens possibilities of discovery, exploration and adventure. Even if it is a familiar road, it may stimulate a craving for travel and freedom.  For those not planning their next journey, such pictures may stimulate journeys of a more inward nature.

Wildflowers at Hermanus

Image
The wildflowers of the Western Cape become a tourist attraction when fields are covered with flowers after a good raining season. What a joy to drive through landscapes of flowers! There is also joy in following trails and pay attention to individual flowers. These were taken during a lovely walk with friends in the hills of Hermanus. Leucospermum cordifolium (Red pincushion-protea) Berzelia lanuginosa (common button bush).

Tekkie Challenge

Image
The 2024 Food Lover's Market Tekkie Challenge took place on Saturday, 7 September 2024, at the Jan Kriel School in Kuilsriver, Western Cape. Three races - 16km, 10km and 5km - started 15 minutes apart. The "challenge" was the 10km race where the women had a head start before the men to set up an "even" race. This year the winner was a woman.  This is an annual charity event in aid of children with special educational needs. Due to a cold I could not participate, but my second prize was the opportunity to take photos.

Keys

Image
Keys can be buttons that are depressed to be accepted as input by a computer.    They can be tonal systems necessary to play music in line with the composer's intentions. They can be notched and grooved metal implements to open or close locks. Keys can enable us to understand or achieve something. It may be what we need to solve a problem.  Click on the images to view them in full.  SHARE this page OR share the blog's link: https://ndt-photoblog.blogspot.com/  FOLLOW this blog through the subscription widget on the sidebar.  [Click on the "3 lines" on the top left of the home page to open the sidebar.]

Stones

Image
Stones can tell stories of change that happened over eons of time.  When were they scattered to form a landscape of stones?  How long did they roll and roll and roll to become big marbles?  How long did it take to grind their surfaces so smooth?  When we compare our daily changes - the first rays of the sun or the tides and waves of the sea - stones seem to be unchanging.

The vast Karoo

Image
Maybe I was in grade 7 when our English (second language) teacher taught us a poem telling the story of a train journey from Worcester crossing the Hex River mountains. He got so excited that I still remember him exclaiming, "out of De Doorns she thundered, and over the vast Karoo!". This came to mind when we recently travelled from Britstown to Carnarvon. Therefore I tried to capture the vastness of this little part of the Karoo with a panorama. Do yourself a favour and open the photo on a bigger screen, zoom till the height fills the screen and then pan from the one side to the other (covering about 150 degrees). PS: I found the poem (Crossing the Hex Mountains by John Runcie) on the Internet, but the line I remember reads, "Then out of De Doorns she thundered, and over the starved Karoo". Did the teacher change the wording to "vast Karoo" or was it changed in my memory because I have experienced the Karoo? SHARE this page OR share the blog's link: h

Vintage cars

Image
"Vintage" cars can be (according to dictionaries): " representative of the best and most typical";  " of lasting interest and importance; classic;" or " representing the high quality of a past time". These cars give me a feeling of nostalgia - even though they come from a time before I was born. (Photos taken at the Old Tannery, Wellington.)

Winter in the Boland

Image
It seems as if the winter rains have finally arrived in the Boland! Will there be snow on the mountains this year? Winter can be wet and cold here, but then there are beautiful days. Especially in the mountains. This is to recall some of those days from years ago when we lived nearer to the Boland mountains.

Blue

Image
Warm colours (red, orange and yellow) are preferred by many photographers. One should guard against the overbearing presence of blue that might ruin a photo, some say. Therefore the advice to take advantage of the "golden hour", when colours before sunset and after sunrise are richer and softer.  It took me long to appreciate the "blue hour" (before sunrise and after sunset), when colder and calmer blue hues have their own magic. Then there are the vibrant blues of a sunny day, while the ocean has its own variety of beautiful blues.
