Road trip to Limpopo

I took a road trip to Limpopo for a few days. Mainly to visit my family who live in Haenertsburg but also to have a nice mini and well deserved holiday. Of course my camera was tagged along to document parts of my mini holiday hence this post. Some images were posted on my Facebook page via instagram as I sued my iPhone to take them thus I could share them immediately. This post is reserved for some of the other sights I captured along the way and whilst up in the mountains. I had hoped to capture the aloes on Spitzkop but I was a little to early and they're not yet in bloom so no magnificent red phosporences in this post. Instead I have some very red sunsets a super moon and very sad plinthed Class 19D, 2541 in Mokpane and a last of the Autumn colours at Cheerio.

Moon Eclipse 15 June 2011

Last night I headed out to the Reefsteamers depot to do some Eclipse watching. The night air was crisp with the chills of winter so I wrapped up warmly and set up my camera and tripod for a few hours of eclipse shooting to the sounds of a simmering 15F locomotive which was being steamed up for the youth day run to Magaliesburg. All in all a great evening was spent with friends in the depot.
