Harrismith and surroundings
Even the land itself was recycled. This is the site of an old farm house |
I grew up in a small town but through pictures and books I know the world |

What makes most people comfortable is some sort of sense of nostalgia. I grew up in a small town, and I could count my friends on one hand, and I still live that way. I think I'll die in a small town. When I can't move my bones around a stage any more, you'll find me living in a place that's spread out and rural and spacious De Oude Huize Yard |
A Hawkins dam wall was built using sandstone |
There are all kinds of futures. There is a hoped-for future, there is a feared future, there is a predictable future, and there is an unimagined future. |
When we trust in the natural goodness around us, we open ourselves for the blessings of life to flow toward us |
Vision stands on the shoulders of what is actual to get a better view of what is possible |
The tragedy of abandonment |
Wonderful craftmanship |
