GMAM Garratt locomotive

A picture of a GMAM Garratt steam locomotive taken near Germiston, South Africa. An earlier model of the Garratt apparently held the South African speed record for a number of years. It has cylinders both front and back, with each set of cylinders driving four sets of wheels. Thus, 16 in total.

Dragonfly

I photographed this dragonfly in the Kruger National Park. The red against the white flower created a nice picture.
