Moreesburg

@furiousgreencloud and I climbed up a stairway up the side of this old barn after dark and watched the lightning reveal the distant mountains by lighting them up from behind while the warm wind ripped around us.

@furiousgreencloud learns the art of birding the old fashioned way - with a big-ass fieldguide and a pair of West German binoculars. We were visiting her aunt Sharon at her house on a beautiful farm outside Moreesburg. I’m not much of a birder but I hopefully conveyed some of the basics.

This struck me as the most South African weekend scene I can imagine - from the end of World War II to today, kids hanging out getting treats on the weekend.
