Caption: Sunday afternoon, 19th of July. We gathered in the small circular lot at the base of the Linksfield Ridge - about twenty people in all, surrounded by the haze of a recent veld-fire. At roughly 4pm, we began our ascent.

Caption: Upon reaching the summit of the hill, the group splintered off to begin their creative collaborations in different corners of the wide, grassy field we found ourselves in.

Caption: "We write for the same reason that we walk, talk, climb mountains or swim the oceans - because we can. We have some impulse within us that makes us want to explain ourselves to other human beings. That's why we dare to love someone - because we have the impulse to explain who we are." Maya Angelou
Caption: Golden hour fast approached as the sun sank below the horizon. From our vantage point, we could see two iconic skylines - Johannesburg CBD to the west, dominated by Ponte and the Telkom Tower; and the Sandton CBD to the north, the Michelangelo Towers glittering in the distance.
Deen also had me stand in amongst a flock of sparrows while he videod my silhouette.

Sunset, and the end to yet another Instameet.

Caption: A huge thanks to Adam (afonography) for organizing another great walkabout through the wilderness.
And to the drone masters Shawn (shawnogulu) and Ofentse (unclescrooch), thank you for letting us play around with your mildly-dangerous toys - we'd sacrifice a finger to them any day.
