[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
On a day like today, with temperatures rising above the 30th for the first time this summer, you better slow down a bit.
.
When there is absolutely no traffic and the road goes on and on - one simply has to make a standard picture like this one.
The snail is just a backyard snail. His shadow is fake - come to think of it, the shadow should have been on the other side of the snail, because in South Africa the sun travels from East over North to the West - very confusing for my sense of direction. We are travelling east to Uniondale.

Hi Els.
Geweldig, nu ook al een comisch onderwerp prachtig. Hier kan ik echt om lachen de foto komt zelf op de tweede plaats. Erg goed gedaan en een prachige creatie.
Heb een heerlijke dag in de zon gezeten en heb zelfs en korte broek op gezocht en dat is zeer ut zonderlijk.

Great funny idea, I like it very much, you have been more than creative, well done.

Hi Els

Beautiful idea and creative image, but poor fellow of this clam, with this temperature and such hot highway, he won't get!
I hope he walks very slowly, to gloaming and to leave the solemnity highway.
Visual, beautiful great compo!

Hallo Els.
Good looking picture of that road with the surrounded mountain landscape.
We have drivven it aswel. Should post some more pics of SA too.
Beautiful country it is.
