It gets its name because of the striking resemblance to a common type of hut used as a dwelling throughout rural South Africa. I took this photo in the mid-90’s with my trusty old 35mm camera, and had it scanned in much later. Hence the washed out look. Still one of the most beautiful parts of this country.

The most amazing thing about this mosque, apart from it’s monumental design and fascinating symmetry, is the fact that it was built out of materials salvaged from the ruins of a Roman monument. Now that’s a strong message to send to your colonisers!

A giant moth in my back yard. This moth easily covers the entire palm of an average adult. Really amazing.

An African moon from my back yard. Taken with a less than professional camera. The second photo was the first time in my life that I ever noticed the full shape of the moon when it was still a crescent.
