Wondering around Claremont this weekend I stumbled upon the Arderne Gardens. These beautiful gardens date back to 1845, and have some magnificent old trees, as well as beautiful ponds and bridges. You can check out their website at: http://www.ardernegardens.org.za
Not my usual style of photography... but since I've been trying my hand at a little bit of macro I thought I'd share this one. There's nothing amazing about this plant, or this shot, but somehow I find this picture very relaxing to look at. Beautiful in its simplicity.
The amount of colour in Jodhpur is something quite spectacular. Among all the beautiful blue houses (that give it the nickname of the 'blue city') there are also the contrasting browns provided by the surrounding hills and of course the massive Mehrangarh Fort. Lastly, the striking colours of the wildlife, like the lovely parrot, add the finishing touches to this amazing city.
