Photo of the fairies?

december 2013..

.......

........

the entire landscape of crooks corner has now been changed by the floods.

the parking lot is now half the size....

.

the block of stones that richie and his cousin were sitting on on page 5 of this thread

"the world according to boon"

which is the same block of stones that my friend is standing on here

under the trees ...



is now a mere bundle about 15 m away from the car park.....



i have attempted to indicate in the following photos

where the terrain has been washed away ...

......

Wow, a lot washed away.

And now very little water

i think that the limpopo will be a lot fuller next month

with all the rain that they are having in gauteng..

hartebeespoort dam has been overflowing..



i will be there (at crooks) on 4th december...

will post photos !!!!!

Very scientific, leachy!

I think the name Crooks' Corner is a bit offensive...maybe one should change it to something more arbitrary...I don't know, perhaps Jacob's Corner?

I have read somewhere why it's called Crook's corner and it seemed very suitable

From 2009!

A lot wetter and greener in those years, or probably just less elephant...in fact ellies were few and far between at Pafuri!








Same elephant as leachy's...as said, they were scarce!










Hippo road to Zimbabwe!










Scenery:










A VERY rare sighting at Pafuri, on the access road to Crooks' near the ellie carcass!
















leachy, you must help here, but I think we arrived there on the same day workers were just finishing the new big signpost and fence no.1?


















I was in a fat phase... eating "poor man's food" as leachy calls it!

I just needed a good laugh
