Indeed. Revisiting a photo I took waaaay back in April 2019 – ironically just before we headed overseas for the last time. This was on a farm just outside Piketberg, a couple of hours north of Cape Town.
Simple enough stuff – the farmer has done most of the work for me here – but there’s still something quite cool about grabbing a drone shot like this. And it all comes back to that change of perspective, despite trees and vines being something that you see along many of the roadsides in the Western Cape.
Squint a bit and suddenly you could be looking at an urban grid or a circuit board. But I promise that these are very much lemon trees and table grapes.
Note: you’re not allowed to mention Piketberg without referencing this post. It’s The Rules!
