A Greyton farm road

Summer in the Overberg.

Hot and dry with a wind rolling down the mountainside that dries eyes and clothes instantly.

A morning walk into Greyton for coffee and the Saturday Market.

Long dusty farm roads, the golden hues of the lands lying fallow until the fall rains start.

Pretty cows and small herds of Grey Rhebuck entertain along the walk.

Watching a pair of Blue Cranes raising their chick on the farm is quite wonderful as is seeing Denham's Bustards flying on the lands.

All the time the mountains a magnificent backdrop.
