Great post, yes while the Transvaal is over flowing with water, the eastern cape is bone dry, our dams are almost empty, so we are in dire need of a flood, to replenish our water supply. Sounds very dramatic, but it is the only thing that can save us. <br /><br />Thanks for following me on GF, glad to have you on board. Enjoy your weekend.<br />Colin.Grumpy old manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00362057586314180517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757405063506888257.post-42840304339320914862011-03-03T14:37:18.304+00:002011-03-03T14:37:18.304+00:00I love the Johannesburg sky!

South Africa is full of different vistas, landscapes and climates too. It is a wonderful place to travel. <br /><br />@ Mo: aaah, a kindred spirit. It is certainly a Southern Hemisphere thing! <br /><br />@ Kathy: I like how you put that! Thank you!<br /><br />@ Betty: thank you! Glad you liked the last one too. <br /><br />@ Sheila: definitely. It was exhilarating and although we were permitted to go down to the water's edge, it was risky.Emmhttp://passiontounderstand.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757405063506888257.post-32933112716465921962011-03-02T10:04:04.457+00:002011-03-02T10:04:04.457+00:00I think it's not until you get very close to f...I think it's not until you get very close to flood water that you really appreciate its power.
