Thanks Hugh ... maybe this will help too ... need to count ...

SJ - isn't it wonderful how you can meet people and just "click" - Jannie always said we would get on well and he couldn't wait for us to meet

......the scorching heat, the incredible blue of the sky and the red sand hot beneath my feet;





The friendly locals who were also looking for a bit of shade .....




A literal rendering of “ hier kom die bokke “







the wonderful friends I made and are now part of my Forum family forever ( especially Shakyjakes and his lovely mom and brother - thank you guys for making this so trip SO special with your friendship) and Jenny from Australia … wonderful to meet Martie and Click click and RichardJ and Rusty and to catch up again with all the old friends as well .....




the vultures circling overhead before the final match between the Forum men and the KTP Eagles ( no photo unfortunately but I promise they were there - 3 of them – ask Jannie ) hmmmmm... maybe they were Eagles and not vultures after all ... and maybe it was a sign ...

Sitting in the shade watching the cricket, with people I do love.

Wow, what lovely memories

What a wonderful report from a wonderful weekend

It is difficult to describe how special this cricket experience was to me. It certainly was an experience of unity.

Shakyjakes - the only thing that would have made it even better would have been if Jannie and Vanessa and Stefan had been in the photo with us but I think V + S were sleeping and our friend was on the cricket pitch ... was he ever off it ?

Thanks Philip 1 - LOTS more to come - and these are just a small fraction of what I took ... I will post some others under the Cricket @ KTP on the VHR Projects page in a couple of days ( when Ive resized etc ) ...

- thank you MM - was wonderful to meet you at last !! I have some super shots of you in action ... will post them soon

Great photo's Scouter

I can kick myself for missing the cricket this year. Looks like it was great fun.

Brilliant Scouter
Just image, i am afraid of horses from a distance and see little kids riding huge horses

So nice to see so many kids in line for the castle
Shows that this venue was a huge success with the local community

Scouter, only just now stumbled over ('cause of your post in the othet thread...) and what did I find:
so beautiful pics which capture the spell of the weekend so well! Thank you very much for posting!

roaneric - it was super fun ... very different from the "usual" cricket but I think that everyone had a wonderful time .. maybe next year I will get to meet you too

Bert, those horses were so gorgeous and in such great condition too ... but as you say, that boy is TINY and he was just so happy on his horse ... " min gepla " - no worries .....

The kids absolutely loved the jumping castle - the teacher actually had to come and chase them all inside the school but they were back as soon as school was over and while they were inside, the little ones had their fun...

Zypresse - cool, glad my posting worked there ... I wante dto put this first in Arid Parks as it meant so much to KTP and the community but I will move it over in a day or 2 ( once its done) - just didnt want to duplicate all the photos ... Glad you are enjoying it

The hardworking team of guides who were up at sparrows and worked themselves to a standstill driving and carrying and fetching guests but were unfailingly always smiling and cheerful - Richard ( Eco training student) , D’ruell ( conservation student) and Robert ( TR guide) – well done guys - you did KTP and your boss proud



The first batch of excited players arriving for the start of the cricket ... what a moment !







the Golden gate team who played so well and seeing Yolandi and Rudi again;



Yolandi far right .....
