Southafrica

That feel when you’re only little and everything’s exciting. This little hyena was having such a good time by the pool with aunties and uncles.

A rather silly looking hyena having a frolic in a pool near their den. We found them while lost and running on fumes. The antics of this pack made it all worth while.

The surf rig is almost perfect. But it’s the nature of electric guitar players to tinker. This old Japanese Fender has the right pickups, the right pick guard, and - almost - the right bridge. Worthy of fronting Africa’s longest running surf instro band, Krakatoa. link in bio.

Thought I’d throw this in for comparison while I’m cameraless. These are Plains Zebras, the normal, common zebra. They have “shadow stripes” between their main stripes and are less striking and contrasty than the Mountain Zebra.

Another oldie while I’m at it. In SA we have two species of zebra - the well-known plains zebra and this one, the Mountain Zebra. It’s much higher contrast with pure white between the black stripes. They’re like the archetypal zebra despite being quite rare.

Here’s a throwback to the flowers many years ago. 2006 actually. Taken on my little Pentax MX with Fuji Velvia slide film. A great day out with @rhodentette and @midnight_knox.

I’m always #proud to play in #southafrica’s longest running #surf #rock #band, Krakatoa, with @sad_ivan and @joydemillar. #friday at The Armchair in #observatory #capetown. A #fridaynight that will #speed the #pulse.

Great way to start a #Sunday #morning.
