A perfect winter’s day here in Africa.

Update on the cultists: I saw a few close up and they seem very nice. I’ve started to find them reassuring. I also encountered some coming down from above Rhodes Memorial (I inferred they weren’t hikers as one seldom hikes with a large black hardcover book in hand). If people are going to be religious, I think incorporating serious physical activity is a cracking idea in our sedentary society.

I had some mountain magic getting to see a pair of Southern Boubou shrikes close to the path and a very close and bold Cape White-Eye. Also amazing were the pair of White-Necked Ravens that you can just see in the last picture. When I waved to them and called them they’d stop in the wind above my head and check me out. I feel we could be friends.
