colin hill Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 As the FIFA World Cup is in full swing in my country, South Africa at the moment, I thought it would be appropriate to showthe members some slides of the beauty of this country. The tourists out for the world cup are having a fantastic time, savouringthe local food and soaking up the atmosphere at the games. I have spoken to a number of them and they are amazed at the beautyof the country and the hospitality of the South African people.I have included some of the famous and beautiful tourist areas of the country, so I hope you enjoy. I have diverted from the normas far as the music is concerned. The african music is unique and so are the rhythms and words and I had to use songs with lyrics to give the presentation a real african feel.PC: http://www.mediafire.com/?irjmnmmzdqmMAC: http://www.mediafire.com/?yzih4j3jdmwColin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colin hill Posted June 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 Thanks Ken and Rick for your comments. This country has many beauty spots for the ardent photographer and many game reserves for the wildlife phtographer.My late brother in law was a professional photographer and won many international awards for his wildlife photography.Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Porter Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 Hi Colin,Great photos but especially the animals and great music to go with them. I have a number of friends who have spent their holidays in your country and they all enthuse about it. Maybe I will get there one day.Re your visit to UK, I am afraid the Lake District will be rather busy during August but if you can put up with that it is a great place to photograph but wherever you go I look forward to seeing the slideshow.Mickp.ps Can't you do anything about the Vuvuzelas!!!

I am hoping wherever we go, it will not be too crowded. We do leave end of August and will be there most of September and Iunderstand the school holidays should be over by then. It will be great for you to come over and the exchange rate will favour you. Let us know if you do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry about those annoying vuvuzela's, yes I agree that they are loud. You want to live here and hear them in the streets and wherever you drive. Anyway the atmosphere in the country is electric and truly wonderful and festive.Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
