A New World

I visited our plot in Tesseaarsdal today -- for the first time in three weeks. Last time, it was still full of tangled debris from the flood. This time, most of the debris seemed to have gone (see the photo on the right). But where did it go? This was a surprise. The ground was full of large ants -- maybe that is where it went. And with the debris gone, I was able to roam. I discovered a new world, after the flood. There was a waterfall that wasn't there before (second photo from the left). There were towering new river banks (second from the right). And then there were still signs of the flood. A tree that was matchsticks (left), and a brick from a neighbour's house (centre -- a  house which is no more). You may click on the photos to enlarge.
