Price sign
I was at first confused when I saw this sign, but then on closer observation noticed the bag of cement in the top left-hand corner. Perhaps it’s obvious to builders what the sign is for, but I have to admit that to us photographers, it’s not as much the case.
Speaking of builders though – I don’t know what it’s like in other countries, but I’ve honestly only once heard of someone who’s been happy with their builders. I’ve heard many terrible stories of poor workmanship, slow delivery and breaking of promises – all of which I experienced in my only building projects!
Have I and all the people I’ve spoken with about renovation and building projects just had bad luck or do you think it just seems this way because we only talk about these things when we have a bad experience?
Old Paarl Road
The Old Paarl Road starts in the suburb of Bellville and runs parallel to the N1 national highway, through Brackenfell, Kraaifonten, and other suburbs all the way to Paarl – and beyond in fact.
I wasn’t around at the time, but at some point I was told that the Old Paarl Road was the main route that one took to get to Paarl (a farming town about 60 kilometers from Cape Town) before the N1 was built.
That's some attitude
I waited for the train to stop and for people to start disembarking. While I was down on one knee (not “down on one knee” like that though) the guy to the left stepped out of the train onto the platform, keeping his eyes fixed on me all the while that the train stood still. I, of course, doggedly pretended not to see him.
I wondered at the time what he may be thinking. I could just imagine that it was something like “WTF? Crazy white boy!”. (Said in a BA Baracus accent of course.) 
Station graffiti
Isn’t this just the coolest piece of graffiti? The statement is impressively profound – compared to what one normally finds scrawled on walls… or indeed finds scrawled on the rest of this wall.
I’m using this photo as a desktop background at the moment – it’s somewhat different as far as desktops go. 
Why not click on the photo to see the large version and then download it as a desktop background for your own computer? Just leave a comment on this post if you’re unsure how to do so and I’ll try to help you out.
