New blog post up about our stay at the Timber Hous New blog post up about our stay at the Timber House (which, incidentally, was designed by @thethinking_hand) in Suurbraak. I had so much fun taking these pictures - more on my blog (link in profile). #southafrica #architecture #suurbraak
Such a fun day seeing art in the city during @open Such a fun day seeing art in the city during @openstudiosjoburg. We even had a cat to show us around! The whole day put me in a cheerful Joburg mood. Art shown here is from @asisebenze, @living_artist_emporium, and @ellishouseartbuilding. Last photo by @dizzylexa. More photos and a blog post to come soon. #openstudiosjoburg #discoverjoburg @johannesburginyourpocket

Standing in the tea-colored water in the Buffelsja Standing in the tea-colored water in the Buffelsjags River in Suurbraak, Western Cape. The water tastes totally normal — better than average, in fact — but is colored this way because of tannins. (Need to do more research on this.) Anyway this is a lovely little hamlet - more photos to come soon. 📸 @thethinking_hand #southafrica
Yesterday morning I went with @thethinking_hand an Yesterday morning I went with @thethinking_hand and @dizzylexa to the Joburg Market, the largest fresh produce market in the Southern Hemisphere, in City Deep. This is where most of Joburg’s restaurants, shops, and food vendors get the fruit and veg that we eat every day. The market is the size of a small city! Here are a few photos and videos from Apple Queens, one of many wholesalers operating at the market. (Thanks for the invite @pranaynagar.) More to come soon on my blog 🍎🍌🥑🍆🍍#discoverjoburg
