Good fences, Good dog/s!

Last week I posted about taking Skabenga and Eddy for a walk on the golf course. I had many comments about the "brown" golf course. I assure you all, during the summer months we have one of the lushest and greenest golf courses in the country. During winter in the Free State, there is no rain. And there is no water (our huge dams have been neglected, walls were damaged and never repaired, over the past 21 years of democracy. Now even with good summer rains, the water just runs away - no storage!) But that is another story altogether.

Last week I also photographed a couple of fences and odd / eclectic garden ornaments on a property along the golf course.

   This property belongs to Amanda and Angus' neighbor (our neighbor, but one). He's known as Boer S (Farmer S) 

Boer has a pair of beautiful Boerboel dogs (These are known as SA Mastiffs) 

Here the dog sniffs at us as we pass his property! The spiky bars under the dog's chin are known as doggy bars. These prevent smaller dogs escaping from the property

The house next door has an identical fence. I've counted at least four dogs in this yard

Eddy the Lion heart barks at a herd of cattle (who dash off into the field!)

This owner has no fence around his large property

The sign obviously came from the Kalahari Gemsbok Park which is now the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park 

The owner and his wife have brought sandstone pillars, old cars and several desert type plants to grace the wide open space which is their garden

Their home is just beyond the right headlight of this old car. Next to the house are guest suites for hire when people pass through town. This car's lights turn on every couple of minutes. But no matter how long I stood there aiming my camera, it would not "play" for me!
