Hedgerow
A few times, I have shown South African hedgerows on this blog. Recently I passed this very long hedgerow (pictured) in the Tsitsikamma district, some 600 km east of Cape Town. OBSERVATION: Traditional European hedgerows may not be possible in South Africa, so one finds great originality and beauty here.

Moravian Mission Kareedouw
This used to be the old Moravian Mission outside Kareedouw, some 600 km east of Cape Town (the Church in the background, the manse in the foreground). Five years ago, it was converted into a hotel, with a honeymoon suite closest to the camera. My wife E. and I had what I have called a "pre-honeymoon" here, after our wedding, during the celebrations. OBSERVATION: In 1945, Ouma Martha donated the plot to the Moravian community, to build a Church and a parsonage. 62 years later, the Church decided to sell and build in the village.

Poignant Moment
Here is another photo of our local Presbyterian Church's farewell to its Assistant Minister Steven Leach, who is returning to the USA. You may click on the photo to enlarge to VGA. Here, he is thanking the Youth after they presented him with an autographed T-shirt. The photo demonstrates that Presbyterians do, in fact, show some emotion. (Historically, they were known to be very staid).
