Biking the countryside

Uncategorized 1 Minute

“Traveling beyond your vicinity is crucial to gain the exposure to the world at large” – Oscar Ntuli

While biking through the country side we realized our bike tires were a bit low. As we pulled into a town, I spotted this giant cabbage.
While I was taking the pic a local came up to me and said, “You both should be in the photo!”
He then asked if we’d been in the museum and began to explain the “unique facade”. Turns out that hundreds of years ago this entire area was comprised of 15,000 islands and each island was a small vegetable farm. On market day people came by boat to bargain for their food. The facade is an aerial representation of this area prior to the channels being filled in.
We exchanged pleasantries and asked Johann where we might find a bike shop. He started to tell us where to go and then he said “Or, I live just over there. Follow me and I’ll use my pump.” We talked about parenthood and politics and then said our good byes.
As we headed out of town we spotted this field of cabbage, bordered by beautiful wildflowers!

A quick word of advise from my fellow photographer, Murph – “It’s way better to view these photos on a computer or tablet rather than your phone!”
