You'll be forgiven for wondering where Graafwater is. This is the steeple of the Dutch Reformed Church (DRC, or NGK) Graafwater, nearly 300km/200mi north of Cape Town. At the bottom of the photo, one sees the emblem of the DRC (click on the image to enlarge to a far more detailed 870k). The Church's foundation stone was laid in 1954. The architects were Louw & Louw -- I suspect that one of these is Wynand Hendrik Louw, who has been described, together with Gerard Moerdyk, as "the first Afrikaans architects".
