Some ordinary photos here to please you!
I have tried to show you something different here as these photos were all taken with an LG 4 Mobile phone. I wanted to see the differences in the quality of the photos as opposed to taking them with my Canon SX60HD camera.
I can tell you here that I was surprised at what a mobile phone can do.
Let's have a look.
Sunrays across a large dam.
A beach shot near Struisbaai!
A lovely walkway next to the beach.
An old roadside farm stall.
Finally, baboons hunting guinea fowl.
Only six photos here taken with the mobile phone, as the others are of flowers and other things that do not fit in with the theme of this post. I wanted to keep the post focused on the sun, sky, and ocean and decided to add the last two, as they came out so nice.
Now here are 3 photos taken with my camera of the golden hour!
South Africa has a plethora, or should I say abundance, of varied sights across its 9 provinces and not one of them are same. Even the beaches along the country's very long coast line have different characters.
As diverse the landscape in South Africa, so too the beautiful diversity across the world - in nature, in vegetation, in coastlines, country-sides, cities and various settings. But what adds so wonderfully to this diversity, is the diversity of people living in the places across the globe.
Nature teaches love and acceptance, but sadly in this current state the world is in a bit of a mess. Greed, selfishness, and all of the other bad things are in abundance all over.
But, there are small groups of caring and loving people in each of these countries, and these are the ones that should unite all over to improve the current status. One can do very little, but an army of loving souls can move mountains.
May we learn from the brilliant colors and the warmth of the sun, the life and vibrancy of the ocean, and the endurance of nature's citizens.
Think about it, as time is of the essence!

I love eventides for they represent the most magical moment in a day. The golden rays and the warm atmosphere it gave makes the environment nostalgic and calmer.
Thank you for sharing your awesome photos. You have an eye with great perspective!!!

Eventides are also some of my favorites my friend, but then again, I love all in nature. It teaches me how life is supposed to be lived.
Thankful and happy with what you have and only doing your best every day. Simple, but very effective!

Hahaha, thank you and there are actually two baboons my friend, but the light was too dark to get a clear shot of them. The one baboon caught a guinea fowl and is holding him down on the ground.
The other guineas had taken off but there are still some on the ground behind the second baboon.
Blessings!

Thank you JJ.
I was a bit amazed at what a mobile phone can do and in all honesty I am a bit biased, as I prefer the shots of my camera. But as it is now, I will be taking more shots with the neglected mobile.
I think you planted a seed in my mind by using your phone for your actifit adventures.
Still raining here since 5am and going to be another wet day.
Hope you guys also have a good week!
Blessings!
