Spring Day Tshwane

Post by Chris Janisch »

Spring has arrived in Pretoria- and the 1st September was a warm dry day, with the first aromas of blossoms in the air. There was also the smell of coalsmoke over the Tshwane district as 2650 did the honours around the city.
Here are some B&W shots of the day.

AH, Chris that Second photo is soooo authentic! If it was a older bike it could've just as well been taken in the 50's!

Well done
