A lovely Highveld Day


Today is a typical Highveld winter day. We don't tend to get rain in winter in Johannesburg, so the skies are clear. It's cold in the mornings and evenings, but warms up during the day. The houses are cold because they're built for the summertime heat; no such thing as central heating!

Everywhere you go you see bare trees silhoutted against the blue sky. It is beautiful but by the end of winter, you get desperate for some rain. Everywhere gets really dusty and dry. Finally in September or October the storms start again.
