I was born in Zimbabwe on 03/06/88. My family, consisting of parents, older brother and sister, migrated to South Africa when I was six months old. We moved back to Zimbabwe six years later, to help my grandparents on their farm - a career change for my father.
After a measly eighteen months we upped sticks and went farming on our own. This led us to Kwekwe, in the heart of Zimbabwe, to farm tobacco! Borrowdale farm which is part of the "Midlands Black Rhino Conservancy" is where we settled . This was the most incredible experience, living with such an abundance of wild life ........... of which we became a part of during the school holidays! Due to the "land redistribution policy" we had no option but to move on.
10th November, 2001 saw us arrive in New Zealand with our former lives packed into a suitcase each, ready to start our new lives. Our first three years were spent on the South Island and I nearly froze!!!!!!! A great employment opportunity for my father had us move up to the North Island. I now live on a farm just outside Matamata aka "Hobbiton" (defrosting).
Yep that should sum it up ha!

I had to check back on the origianl version, and I must say I liked the new one a lot better - pretty bleak looking with that sky, but it fits the decrepit state of the sign perfectly.

I really love the way you play with the colors which gives a "strange" atmo. Great shot !!! Bonne journee. Luc

Now my email notification said that your shot was called "Drought at the beach"? I think that title really suits the capture, but your new title works too. I love the dramatic sky and the angles in this capture. Great shot. xx

Excellent!

You have some of the coolest clouds in your images. Lately here in Cali. the skys have been cloudless, which can often lead to a boring landscape shot imo. Nice contrasting colors here and nice compo.

I think your postwork style is really unique and you should stick with something that you like and enjoy doing. Rather be a master at 1 thing and not a jack of all trades...
