In the meantime I have taken framegrabs of the most interesting waves and am uploading them for your viewing pleasure.

join the caravan of love

Every woman every man

I walked around the beautiful town of stellenbosch today and took a few photos. Nothing great was good to get out though.

Here are a few of the nicer ones:

A massive leaf I came across, use my foot at the top for reference.
I gave my design skills some testing. Not quite sure if  I like it or not.

"I was so high"

So high, that I saw Robben island, Seal island, Table mountain, Strand, Grabouw and even up to the west coast. That is how high I was today!

While watching the trailer of Rob Machado's movie, I came across the quote: "It is when you are all alone that you are least alone". I think it is pretty true and agree fully.

I decided to hike to the summit of one of the mountains in Stellenbosch the view is unreal so stoked I did. On my own when I was least alone.

Here area a couple of photos:

It speaks for itself
Apparently 404m above sea level

V L B


Today in my state of boredom I decided that a watermark on my photos would not be such a bad idea. After alot of pondering I came up with V L B images, V L B standing for vivalaboogie ofcourse.

Here is a photo with the watermark. A photo taken in capetown a while back.

greener pastures


Yesterday after a shit day in the office, I took my camera and went to go catch some light on the sun shiny day.

I was quite aggravated as the result of a maths test that looked like a foreign language to me, but after a few clicks that was all gone.

Nothing special about these photos really just some images burn't onto the image processor and put online for viewing pleasure.

Tomorow I return to the town of Saldanha on the west coast. I am going with the boland bodyboarding association to help with a bodyboarding development clinic. I really do love going there. It's nearby but still creates that feeling of getting away.

My exams are coming up now and if all goes well will be treated with a 7 week holiday thereafter. Frothing is an understatement.

Here are some photos from previous trips to Saldanha:
