A view from the Owl's (left) Eye as Jen enters the cave.
We were invited graciously by Mrs. Rabinowitz to give a talk to her 3rd grade class. Clearly, it was going to require a format allowing us to relate adult concepts to 8-year-olds. (Some might think or even utter that at times the maturity between the kids and ourselves may not differ much.) Nevertheless, it would be tricky to relate our ideas and lifestyle to kids although the simple slideshow would help to provide and stimulate an easier form of communication.
On the morning of the presentation, we attended our granddaughter Ellie’s concert at the school. As it was the Channukah period, all parents and grandparents were invited to watch and listen to the innocent and pure perform their roles. The finale was a song which had the words and probably title, “Don’t Let The Light Go Out.” As I heard the words and listened to the sweet rendition, I realized how we could begin the presentation in the narrow sense as well as utilizing the title as another approach to life, especially as one passes the peak and autumn of one’s life. Don’t let the light go out; don’t let it dim, not for a minute, not for a moment. Keep driving onwards and upwards fulfilling your purpose, pursuing your passion. So not only did we have a concept to share with the kids utilizing the words sung, but we attained another way of focusing on our purpose and passion.
State of Arizona, Nevada or Utah...actually, province of Free State with Jenni 'towering' below.
Entering the Owl's Eye (right).
Entering a cave, nearly claustrophobic.
Using the self-timer, a first or desperate vanity.
Vertical cliff is no short-cut down.
Love the smooth surfaces with just sufficient traction to feel safe.
Enjoying the formations in this hidden gem of a region.
Holkrans trail, completion of South African trip.
Morning sun lights the buttress above the hotel in Golden Gate Highland Park.
Jenni heads toward the mountains, sort of, nothing's quite as pretty as 'Mary' in the morning.
The Caveman returneth to another cave some 60 miles further away from the above (caves).
Some from India Venster on Table Mountain, Cape Town—a special accomplishment of the editor and a couple of others photographs.
A beautiful scene from one of the Apostles.
Had some big drop-offs, too.
Finding and taking the gap.
Still a long way to the peak ahead of a storm, Visierskerf—part of the Witteberg range, a highlight.
Returning from Perdeberg above Franschhoek, a sample of a spectacular region.
Cheers,
Jenni and Jeffrey
