Parkhurst has the most spectacular sunset views in Joburg. No one can convince me otherwise. Just look at this eveningโ€™s colour display! ๐Ÿ˜๐ŸŒ‡

As Iโ€™m about to drive off, the Sandton parking lot boss leaps onto the hood demanding โ€˜Parking ticket and pets, human. Pay up.โ€™ ๐Ÿ˜ผ๐Ÿ˜น

Running through these in summer was a joy and relief from the sunshine.

Much gratitude to the humans who planted them in the last century.

Iโ€™m on community duty ๐Ÿคฉ It was a magical day volunteering at my neighbourhoodโ€™s Parkhurst Village Fair. Also such an honour to have been invited to exhibit some of my photography. I love being part of this special colourful Joburg community. โค๏ธ #parkhurstvillagefair
