Last Contribution of 2011

What a year 2011! My best pictures captured all over South Africa... hope you leave a comment whether negative or positive but preferably constructive criticism. 2011 is over but can't be without its stories, "alishoni linganaz' zindaba".












Mercedes Benz cars were too hard to ignore at JIMS
JIMS 2011
Joburg International Motor Show had awesome machine like the Merc SLK 350, Lexus LFA, McClaren and many more mean machines...












The LFA is the first supersports from the Lexus brand. This handbuilt supersports will be delivered to the world for a maximum of 500 units according to lexus website. I personally think the white LFA looks great compare to other colours such as the red.
What a head turner, 0-100km/h under 4 seconds...
The Amarok - Not just tough, also very smart. Toughness comes in handy to get you across rough terrains. Smart lets you pass a lot of filling station not forgeting to mention also ...very powerful and quick. On November 2010 it won the Battle of the Double Cabs check the leisure wheels website...












Blyde River Canyon in Mpumalanga, the world's third largest canyon.












Suspension ramp over the Big Hole in Kimberly











Finally, the reality of unemployment is seen in the following picture, and I had a chat with two gentlemen. If you are employed, don't forget to count your blessings...it is hard out there.

Joburg's Historical Landmarks

The spectacular Nelson Mandela Bridge is landmark for Joburg especially downtown, the construction started in 2001 and completed in 2003. The bridge crosses over 42 operational railway lines in linking Braamfontein and the north of Johannesburg to Newtown in the heart of the city’s central business district. It has seen so many faces whether walking, running, modelling, but what I like the most about it, the gleaming apex during the sunset. It's a beauty that cannot be ignored, look at the picture.

The Clock on top of the burned down building
All it took was little match to turn this historic building to its new look...November 2009

The FNB Stadium -  venue for the 2010 FIFA World Cup Final, which was played by the Netherlands and Spain

A stadium with a calabash shape i.e. African Pot, so much has happened inside the FNB stadium. Joy, tears only if it could talk, it will have a lot to tell the future generation.

The Carlton Centre - has been centre of attraction for decades, tourists destination as well as locals. What I like the most about it is the four-sided viewing decks on the 50th floor it offers of the 360 Degrees view of the World Class African City, Johannesburg on a clear cloudless sky.

From A Distance - Joburg City

I like being spontaneous because it occurs without premeditation, or external stimulus, I think it brings the best out of any situation. My advice from me to you, carry your camera everywhere you go, because the world is full of breath taking moments...
Let me give you a tour of the City Of Gold - Johannesburg/Jozi/Joburg through pictures or should I say the capital city of Africa. This is how Joburg looks from a distance, let me take you through a virtual tour of this beautiful city.







When I take a look at the horizon, I see limitless opportunities that has not been discovered yet, get so inspired by being part of this wonderful earth. Opportunities are like playing puzzles, when you look for that one piece of a puzzle and can't find it until someone does. So, are you inspired, write down all the possible attainable ideas, and start eliminating the mental blocks one by one and go for gold.

As for my explorations - The sky is the limit
