I drove past a building that is in the process of being demolished. It is being demolished by removing the outer walls before breaking down the concrete floors. In this picture the outer wall has been removed leaving the fire hose reel standing free on its own. It made an interesting picture. http://www.coismeyer.com/
Street art next to Clarence Road Johannesburg. Unfortunately I am unable to credit the original artists as I don't know who they are. http://www.coismeyer.com
The Telkom Tower in Hillbrow, Johannesbyrg dressed up for the World Cup. Photo taken from Honey Street, near to where I photographed some of the street art included elsewhere in my blog. The first game kicks off today, South Africa against Mexico. http://www.coismeyer.com
This is the smaller of the two churches on the shady stand in the middle of the town of Knysna, South Africa. There are a number of graves around the church. Some bears what appears to be a royal coat of arms and bears the family name “Rex”. Legend has it that the then King of England banned his illegitimate son to South Africa to avoid embarrassment back in England. George Rex did a lot of good for the community, playing a roll in amongst other the development of the harbor at the Knysna Lagoon. Today the harbor is used mainly by pleasure craft. Craft entering the Lagoon has to pass through a narrow channel. Navigation is tricky due to the fast moving current that passes through the channel due to tide movement. The South African Navy still visits the harbor from time to time for ceremonial purposes. http://www.coismeyer.com/
Along Louis Botha Avenue between Houghton and Hillbrow runs a stretch of clay brick wall decorated by street artists. Some of the art incorporates the standard symbols and interlocked thunder bolts. Others are quite unique. Most of them are really good. I photographed this early one morning. I will include a few more images in my website, www.coismeyer.com, in the “Objects” gallery within the next few days.
