"I Spy" Photo Challenge

Yep, common occurrence around here too. This is the National Route 3, approaching Van Reenens Pass in Kwazulu Natal en route to Durban from Johannesburg, a treacherous stretch of road. Ask me, I wrote my first car off there way back when. Slippery rainy conditions and I slid sideways and the guardrail certainly kept me from ending up in the valleys below. Frankly, as far as some drivers are concerned, they may as well not be there!

I spy a railing

Yes, guard rail does not work too well when someone hits it at high speed like that. About the only thing that would stop a car like that is a solid concrete wall, but those people were probably better off with the guardrail

More railing

I spy layered stones even more complex

That is a really clever, creative work of art. Caught my brain the instant I saw it.

Yep mine too. At the local Apple i-Store. First time I saw it I could only take shots through the fence, so made a point of revisiting the store, got permission to get closer. It is quite huge actually.

A fragmented version of the Cardiff Giant - and if you don't know about the latter, it's worth a GOOGLE search.

Well now, what can I say about some preachers and Theologians. And not forgetting deceivers! What a business. And such suckers too! Interesting article to read.
