On the way back from the airport this stormy, rainy morning, I took a short cut through Ottery along Strandfontein Road where I saw this amazing sight of a herd of cows and a few sheep in the middle of the city, just as the sun came out in a monkey's wedding and lit them up. (I nearly crashed my car!) I guess this is quite close to Philippi which is still rather rural.
This city cow is looking moodily at the traffic as it bumps down Second Avenue, Harfield Village in Claremont. Apparently the building used to be a dairy in the old days when Harfield Village was a thriving village community. The "coloured" folk were forced to move out in the nineteen sixties and seventies during the dark days of apartheid when the place was declared "for whites only", effectively destroying its character.
