I am 58 years young, live in Johannesburg, South Africa and I'm a true product of my continent. I love the bush, the animals, sunshine, sunsets - oh well, anything to do with nature. I am unmarried and have three sons - 37, 33 and 30 respectively and three granddaugters aged 12, 6 and 4 respectively and obviously the light of my life! Photography has always been a passion and I have loved it since I can remember. I was still using a SLR camera and only switched to digital only in late 2007! My other passion is travel and I have been lucky enough to have travelled fairly widely. There are however still many, many places I would love to visit "one day." I am truly an amateur photographer and do it merely as a hobby. So please be gentle when you comment on my work. :-) Thank you Piet, my dear friend, for convincing me to place my work on Renderosity. You owe me one! Hugs, Carin xx

Not that my story is worse, but just 3 days ago, a former classmate of mine (and I'm heavily involved with the alumni and write a bi-annual newsletter so I'm in touch with the entire class all year ever year...) over-corrected on the highway and slammed head-on into a truck hauling tools and generators for the Hurricane Ike cleanup efforts outside of Galveston. Killed. He was the only one killed. I keep playing it over and over and even if I haven't seen him since graduation in 1971, I still feel like a part of me slammed into that truck with him. This is a touching dedication and a very sorrowful story. My heart breaks for all who are left behind.

Carin this saddens me because I can only imagine how it affected you, not to even think of their families and loved ones. Condolences to the families.

A very sad time for family and friends with this loss of so many young lives at once. We really are very fragile against machines. A lovely dedication to your friends.

Lovely dedication image Carin. I am always sorry to hear of such misfortunes because as a pilot it is an ever present issue for me (though not at this momsnt). When things go wrong you can't just "pull over" and yes, I have had some scares so I feel for them, their relatives and friends.
