View of Blomfontein, Orange River Sovereignty, South Africa. aines’s expansive view from the vantage point of a local koppie is dwarfed by colossal, concentric sweeps of unfurling pink, and a grey thunderstorm swelling over an enormous flat plain. The observer witnesses the adobe and straw structures of the original inhabitants, as well as the hunters and the clatter of arriving ox wagons – all are being replaced by the beginnings of a new civilisation. Tents give way to farmsteads and churches. (http://www.countrylife.co.za/)
