Hi John, what a great image to set the holiday mood. Can't wait to see more! Linn's comment needs a correction: I was at the Signal School which is on top of Red Hill behind Simonstown. Your picture brings back memories of those clouds rolling in the windows of our bungalow and out the door almost every morning! You might have heard of Able Seaman Just Nuisance who was a Great Dane dog enlisted by the Royal Navy during WW2, his grave is at the Signal School.

Hi John,
Welcome home, and I can't wait to see all your photos. You chose an excellent image to get us into your holiday mood. I remember how those clouds used to come rolling in through our bungalow windows and out the door every morning!
Linn didn't get the names straight in her comments, the base on top of the hill in Simonstown is called Signal School and the hill is called Red Hill. You probably heard about Able Seaman Just Nuisance, a Great Dane dog enlisted by the Royal Navy, he was buried there in 1944. (Full story: http://www.simonstown.com/tourism/nuisance/nuisance.htm )

Hi Bernard,
Welcome to UF, my first post was also a hunting dog, but not as civilised! I would like to have seen this with a bit more exposure so that the eyes are visible. (Dogs' expressions have a lot to do with their eyes).

I was quite far from him, but I laughed at Linn trying to get a pic of an amorous ostritch this morning, I hope she posts a photo of it.

Guido, it was just a misty overcast day, which gave a nice even distribution of light! Photo taken around midday with the "old" faithful Z1.

Wow! Blue background always seems to go great with sunflowers. Nicely cropped and very nice detail showing "mini sunflowers". (Did you get in the calendar?).

Hi Michael, there were 2000 cars in the park, but I don't want to bore UF with each one 8-). It wasn't easy getting a shot without people, there must have been 40 000 people - it was difficult enough just walking around!

Bill, it probably came here in 1936, and the costs then were still reasonable ;-).

Very nice use of the blur effect, Maria. At first it looked like a shop window behind them, and only after seeing the other photos did I realise what the composition was. Great work. Roberto

Hi Emgy, I think the building is an admin office for the Architecture department at Pretoria University. There are some more buildings like this around Pretoria, so I will try get a few more. Thanks for visiting, Robert

I think the planes in the background are an essential element. The image shows three guys trying to block out their work during a short break. The taller guy doesn't seem to be blocking it out as well as the others, maybe he should get the top of his head behind the cover!

Hi Margaret, I looked for some info on the house and I found a story that is similar to mine, read the first paragraph on this website: http://www.witness.co.za/content/2003_03/13822.htm
Also, a local school did an archeological dig near there and found stone-age implements.
Thanks for the interest, Robert

Hi Maria, this is an excellent image. I like the moonlight reflecting off the water and rocks, and the beams of light from the lighthouse are superb. The exposure is great, did you have to try different exposures or did you catch this first time? Roberto

Hi Michael, thanks for your comment on my Ferrari image, and welcome to UF. Guess you don't have much time to compose an image like this! Glad you had the courage to take the picture.
Do you have any photo editing software like Photoshop or PS Elements, because with them you can make significant improvements such as in my attachment?
Did you see my (tongue in cheek) image:

Both are very nice, but this image is my pick. Maybe because it is closer and the flowers show more definition.

Nice play on shadows and textures. I wouldn't straighten the horizontals because they appear slightly curved due to the wide angle lens used.
