Flamingo

I photographed this flamingo at the Rondebult bird sanctuary near Germiston. I am for the most critical towards Government both local and national. But I have to say: Well done with Rondebult!

Visit the sites listed in my previous post. UJ's solar car has reached 100km/h on an overcast day. Well done.

Solar race

The  5000 km solar race is continuing with the teams having travelled from Pretoria to Cape Town. There are also a number of hybrid entrants. In respect of copyright I will mot re-post pictures. Follow progress at the following links: http://www.twitter.com/TheRealLoLoMe/ or www.twitter.com/UJHybridCars/ or www.Twitter.com/UJSolarcar/

I studied at the University of Johannesburg, thus my links are biased towards UJ. There are however a number of other sites on the Internet.

These cars are really "Cool". Well done UJ!

Steam Locomotive Cab

The controls of a 25NC steam locomotive photographed during July 2012. I have always seen them from a distance and never realised that the driver has very little forward vision. This probably explains why they are always peeking out of the side windows. This lady was born during the 1950's.
