The Scavenger Hunt: Nieu Bethesda

Last week my Irish friend and I were talking about photography. She was complaining that she doesn't take enough photo's. Our solution; set ourselves a photo scavenger hunt for the weekend. The list was open to interpretation. These are my results from my weekend away in Nieu Bethesda:

1. An Angel: This owl was perched on top of an archway, watching over the camel yard at the Owl House in Nieu Bethesda. I thought it's position in the garden gave it angelic qualities.




2. An abandoned object: Going nowhere slowly. An old VW Beetle that looked as though it had a lifetime of stories.



3. Someone Local: It was difficult to choose between Katrina, a local artist and Jakob, the town historian and storyteller. So I added both pictures.




4. A red object: Our quirky accommodation had us feeling as though we had jumped down the rabbit hole and woken up in Wonderland. 


5. A family member: Juno guarding the car.


6. Something Natural: An Karoo storm


7. Something man-made: This was a difficult choice as there were so many beautiful things to choose from. I eventually settled on this photo of the church.



8. Something inspirational: There is nothing more inspiring than a road trip through the karoo with good company and good music.
