The King's new home
We pass this small patch of African woods in the countryside every time we go into Stellenbosch. Randy's been dying to see what it looks like inside. And I just love these broccoli trees.
On Sunday we went into town and on the way back we pulled down the dirt road that leads into the forest.
Its like the road in Lord of the Rings, except for the road signs......... and the lack of mythical creatures....
There is only a short stretch of trees. I bet there were more at one time or another...
But then the trees stop and the landscape looks VERY different. Maybe there weren't more trees than this. Maybe somebody planted them over 100 years ago just because.
This is probably more of an indigenous look....
And guess who we found at the end of the road!
Elvis!

I am always facinated by how everything looks one way over there, then it changes so drastically in the matter of a few minutes drive. The fact that you found Elvis is an added bonus.
Totally Cool! Beautiful pictures and a mystery solved.
I love looking at your photos. There is not one place close to here that I could go that would have beauty like you do.
I knew Elvis was still alive (but who could've guessed in Africa???) :)
