Zululand Travels and Pictures

[Riaan van Wyk]

Riaan I just love your picture compositions .... you have such a good "eye" for spotting the right angle, subject, perspective - you have a gift.

Wonderful thread, keep up the good work and yes, there are probably a few around who would be interested in the historical "trail" / campout suggested above.
I will follow this with interest.
Regards to "the blond" also.

Thank you Peter. I will let her know you said hi.

I have been and am busy looking at something on the history side so keep in touch.

You should copyright and sell your pictures.
Posting on an open forum makes them in the public domain (as far as I am aware, anyway).
I really enjoy your presentations.

Your words resonate deeply..a heartfelt thank you..

I have been fortunate over the years yes indeed, having lived in Sodwana, Manguze ( Kosi Bay), Ingwavuma and Melmoth and having had to travel across Zululand for work for the last 20 years or so. Also fortunate to have had a dad who instilled, from a young age, an acute awareness of the world around us and an awareness of the richness of our history here. Having been an only child helped cultivate this search for "meaning" - ( you have lots and lots of time for thinking, growing up by yourself in the bush) and in later years the camera made all these things come together in pictures.
