Listen to the heartbeat of nature.

Don't forget to listen to the video further down.

I am a nature junkie and I will show you here why, so come, look and tell me what you think.

A few hours in nature feels like a weeks holiday to me as I drink the sounds in and the truth and beauty enters a special room in my heart everytime I go out there. So come with and enjoy some time out under the warm African sun.

A rugged old mountain and that pillar has withstood countless assaults from the storm winds and the rain.

Two old trees form a beautiful background, complemented by the clouds to this river photo.

A small beetle was scouting the area for some food.
Either a Darkling or Ground beetle.

Some more river shots here and look at the shape of those trees.

I made this video so that the river and the wind could sing in your ears.

That is my favorite rock that you also saw in the video.

A beautiful landscape scene backed by the mountains.

Finally, the bird of wisdom - a Spotted Eagle Owl (Bubo africanus)

Like I said in the opening, I simply cannot get enough of nature, the mountains, the clouds, the sounds and even the ocean is my home. A refreshing that cannot be found anywhere else. Especially, in our rushed lives today between cars, buildings and human noise.
Just to listen to the bird song is an experience all on its own, and there are so many calming facets of nature that I simply cannot get enough of it all.
A place where a person can clear your thoughts and replenish your soul.
A place called home.

And That's All Friends!

I sit at the foot of that mountain range almost every day. I am tempted to say that is part of most beautiful region in South Africa.

You sit at the foot of the mountain almost every day?
Do you mean that your offices are there?

Yes, it is indeed a beautiful part of our country.

I do armed response. The area I work borders on the same mountain range on Stellenbosch side.

This is one of my wise sayings: Have you ever enjoyed the relaxing silence of a roaring waterfall?
It's been a while and it's time that I listen to one again, thanks for reminding me so nicely Zac 🙏

!BEER and !WINE - both make a nice dinner with !PIZZA :)

Tonight I don't have time to roam for a poem in my mind, as the power cut has placed me in a rut 🤣

I wish you also a good night Hannes.

Cheers and thanks.

Never mind my friend, have a good sleep and tomorrow you will feel much better. And when they say they will cut the power next time, you just believe them, because then the power will stay on 😆

Good night Zac 😴

Oh yes, I am happy and smiling again may friend. So you are right as a good sleep is great medicine.

Hahaha, yes, we will switch everything off before the power cut, wait patiently for a few minutes and if nothing happens we will be happy and switch on again. then a few minutes late the power will be switched off while we have everything on and all of us will scream 🤣🤣🤣

Why do I say this? Because it has happened to us before and even the computer and the fridge just sighed 😭

Cheers and thanks.

That's really annoying Zac, but since we don't have such power cuts here, I have no idea how it must be for you in reality.

No one deserves this my friend and yet it also happens in other parts of the world.
So we will just have to close our eyes and endure every time that it happens.
Meantime things just keep on deteriorating, but I don't like to talk about it.

Cheers and thanks.

Okay, but I really can't imagine that they would do such here with us without getting in big trouble.

I just can't figure out why all of us here, the entire nation of all colors cannot stand up and put a stop to all of this.
Maybe one day who knows, but I cannot see it in the near future as there are too many divisions.
We all had one dream, the "Rainbow Nation" started by a great man that suffered many years for this country to unite in peace and harmony. The man was Nelson Mandela.

But since then it seems to have gone down the drain.

Cheers and thanks.

Cheers and thanks.

You need a person like Nelson, one whom all trust and who only wants the best for all, and doesn't think about himself, a good man - a leader.

None such here my friend and those that were kicked out are fighting back to rule the country again.

Real leaders that really care for the people and not for themselves are scarce worlwide methinks.

Cheers and thanks.

I don't know if there's any around at the moment, at least none that has reached a top position.
Of course, the bad guys will take care that such a leader doesn't even have a chance.

That's why a new leader must be strong and show all his worth by delivering on every promise that he/she makes. Small talk and back stabbing must not affect a leader in any way and his sole purpose must be to win the peoples trust.
Trust is a powerful weapon my friend as Hitler, Napoleon or any of the other leaders would not have achieved anything if they did not have a ring of peope around them that trusted them completely.

Just my own thoughts.

Cheers and thanks.

That's not an easy task and you can only hope that someone who is like you say will come, but you need a good guy and not one who hates...

Rare to find an independent guy without any hangups Hannes.
Most are biased according to their own preferences, instead of sticking their hand outv to all in the country with the words, "Come let's build our country together, as we are all equal".
A rarity indeed, but it can create miracles.

Cheers and thanks.
