Faerie Glen Nature Reserve

Way back on 31 May 2014, I paid a visit to the Faerie Glen Nature Reserve (25°46'29.82"S, 28°17'29.71"E), not far from home. I decided to add another place to my list of places to visit around Pretoria. Unfortunately, it is mostly just plants and some birds. I didn’t see any animals at all. So, if you are interested in a little hike, you can visit here and you can hike to the top of the hill from which you can see a fair distance. From here you can clearly see the Menlyn Shopping Mall (25°46'58.69"S, 28°16'30.66"E).

Visiting Voortrekker Monument

Together with my photographic club, I visited the Voortrekker Monument (25°46'35.40"S, 28°10'33.06"E) in Pretoria last Saturday, 19 July 2014. The idea was not so much to take pics of the monument, although we took a few, but rather to get some landscaping pics and also some night photography of the monument and the city of Pretoria. We took some photographs from the top of the monument, but then just before dusk we drove over to Skanskop (25°46'38.24"S, 28°11'4.55"E), which is on the monument’s property. From here we took photographs of the monument and the city as the sun set and we also did some night photography. All in all it was a lot of fun.
