Black-headed Heron

Taken near Sedgefield, South Africa. Wish I could fly.!

African Purple Swamphen

As is evident from the first picture the Swamphen has a fairly formidable beak. Never realized it was quite as strong. The three pictures show the Swamphen approaching, biting through, and swimming away with a young, green reed. 

Steam Locomotive

December holidays not far away now....

Sunset

Would prefer to have been here right now rather than sitting in suburbia in front of a computer screen wishing that I was here rather than sitting in suburbia in front of a computer screen. 

Steam train comming

A steam train coming into the steam depot at Germiston, Gauteng, South Africa. The guys are doing a wonderful job in maintaining these old steam locomotives in working order as an example of how things worked and were done back in the day.
