Outeur: Abrie Joubert

I like active things like hiking, mountain biking, squash playing and holidaying; fervently interrupted by slothing. And as I am a blogger I will create words if need be (i.e. slothing). While my profile is in English I am Afrikaans speaking (read: staying in Cape Town, South Africa). Photo challenges are done in English (but my photos are understood in all languages) My other writing is in Afrikaans. I have a beautiful wife and 2 teenage daughters and believe that God's grace is enough even if our emotions may tell us that God has forgotten about us..

Una van Travel460 vra ons om te vertel waar die pad op die foto jou neem: Stap, klim en klouter is in my bloed, ook op plekke waar ‘n regdenke persoon van my ouderdom nie behoort te klim en klouter nie. Maar dit is ‘n ietwat van ‘n Catch 22 want vir my om regdenkend te … Lees meer ‘n Belydenis in my stapskoene

Kom kuier saam – as die lewe krap: KRABGAT

Krab is die Nederlandse spelling van daardie skeeflopendes met knypers (crab – soos in Engels). ‘n Gedeelte van die plaas lê in ‘n holte. Die Soutrivier en ‘n sytak loop daardeur; ek sou dit spruite noem, maar in die Weskaap is alles riviere. Krappe hou van water en siedaar: Krabgat. Die huisie is geweldig fotogenies. … Lees meer Kom kuier saam – as die lewe krap: KRABGAT
