Chemtrails? You’re Welkom.

Posted on July 3, 2015July 6, 2015

I mean, we see them over Sheffield all the time, and we don’t get them over Cape Town (save perhaps for the odd occasion when SA223 takes a slightly southerly track), but now “they” are spraying chemtrails all over the Free State, affecting the weather patterns and effecting “their” mind control on the citizens of Welkom. (Good luck with that.)

Don’t believe me? Just check out this video evidence.

Obviously, it couldn’t just be vapour trails from one of the numerous daily Cape Town to Joburg flights which pass almost directly over Welkom, could it?

Although, of course, that’s what “they” want you to think. Because that’s how “they” disguise “their” nefarious acts, isn’t it? I’ve been fooled.

One of the commenters on that video is a one Jo Rautenbach. Jo is no fool when it comes to the truth about chemtrails:

maybe you and I are the only ones aware of this stuff if 82 people have watched this and nobody has anything to say!

Or maybe nobody is allowed to comment, Jo… hashtag mind control.
Jo’s Youtube profile makes vaguely interesting reading, with likes on videos by US loons about the Pope, and CERN and ley lines, and crop circles in the Netherlands and 12th planet observation, interspersed with the highlights of various sessions of the Co-operative Funeralcare European Masters bowls tournament.

If you ever happen to read this, Jo, then yes, obviously I am a secret agent from the CIA/Mossad/The Illuminati/Project Nibiru sent with the mission of ridiculing you and your beliefs.

And I’d just like to say a big thank you for making it so very easy to do.

Busy skies…

Today’s QP is an image from a couple of weeks ago.

Big on black here

Those are Cape Gannets (Morus capensis) in a feeding frenzy over a shoal of fish just off the Struisbaai coast. It was a case of dive, eat, lift off, dive, eat, lift off and repeat. Also in on the act (at water level) were a few Cape Comorants (Phalacrocorax capensis).

Most of the birds around here are Cape birds. You may have noticed that.

Durban…

Durban has been cool. It’s a scruffy place, but that’s not necessarily a criticism. It handles its scruffiness well. It’s part of its character.

We’ve seen giraffes, zebras, a steam train, a host of exotic birds, dolphins and several (or more) water slides.

One thing we haven’t seen is any reasonable way of uploading photos to Flickr, and as we move on, there seems even less chance of that being sorted in our Wild Coast home for the next few days.
I know this will hurt you, dear readers, but not bringing a laptop along was very much part of the idea of this whole trip.

Punting my Instagram

Posted on June 30, 2015June 25, 2015

I’m hoping to take lots of photos while I’m away this week. Some of them will end up on my Flickr, some on my Instagram.

I’ve got almost 300 ~~posts~~ pictures on there now and I’m adding works of painted light on a fairly regular – yet hopefully not overbearing – basis. Here are a few recent examples:

If you should decide that you want to follow me on Instagram, here’s the link. If you should decide that you want to tell your friends to follow me as well, that’s also fine.

People put the weirdest things on the internet. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. Often, either way, it’s on tumblr. Here are a few that could fall into either category.
