On the Road - Part 1

I'm always taking photos and that is why I started 1camera1mom. I needed a place to share them! Sure, I've got Amanda's Books and More where I share many of my photos, but the themes are usually different. There you get to see more about us and here you get to see more about the region where we live.

"On the Road" is a series of photos taken between Paarl and Worcester, South Africa. The bridge was closed due to a truck overturning, so we had to take the old pass.

It's quite common to see baboon in the area. When Amanda was little, she called them "balloons." The scenery is stunning, so click on the images to view them larger.

The scenery is lovely, and the baboons are cool. I didn't know SA drives on the left.

Yes, Rhonda! The British had a lot to do with South African history. Some of it not so good. And, the English the kids learn at school is British English. I love your purple sunrise!

Thank you for the lovely drive thru the mountains! I didn't see the monkeys though. You do live in a gorgeous part of the world. Have I said that before? A few times???

Hahaha! Thanks, Rosemary! The baboon were walking along the side of the road. That particular photo is labeled "Baboon" to help people find it. Sorry you missed it! Enjoy your weekend!
