Kareedouw Church

In my early morning post, I briefly referred to the Dutch Reformed Church in Kareedouw, in the Eastern Cape. Here is a photo of the Church -- which, personally, I find squat, and too bold in its features. It has the typical mirror-image symmetry of a Dutch Reformed Church. The Church was built from 1908-1909, and extended from 1929-1930. In 1910, only eight houses surrounded the Church. An apartheid prime minister, John Vorster, is buried next to the Church. OBSERVATION: This is a combination of two wide-angle shots -- this Church is difficult to photograph due to its surrounding walls and embankments. You may click on the photo to enlarge to 1MB.
