This post is for the #wednesdaywalk challenge and the #makemesmile challenge collaboration. This collaboration initially took place once a month, but due to its popularity, @tattoodjay (of the #wednesdaywalk) and @elizacheng (of #makemesmile) decided to make it a weekly thing.
If you want to know more about the rules, visit this week's post by @tattoodjay where you will find all the rules at the bottom of his post after you've enjoyed his beautiful photos from his walk.
I am currently building a portfolio/album of photos of trees. Maybe I can work on a post or a project in the future to highlight the beauty of trees.
Last Thursday I had to attend a meeting during the afternoon, and after the meeting, I would fetch my wife from work.
I finished early and had enough time to go for a walk before fetching my wife.
On the way to my wife's office, I decided to stop in Old Main Road, Kloof, where I knew I would get some nice shots of an avenue of trees.
Kloof is situated in the Upper Highway area, west of Durban on the East Coast of South Africa.
Until about two years ago, we lived in this area and we traveled on this road almost daily. But irrespective of how often I drive here, I still enjoy the scenery created by these trees.
In my first photo, I pulled over at the side of the road and took this photo of the road with some oncoming traffic. The walkway which I would be using to go for my walk, is visible to the left in the shadows of the trees.
More oncoming traffic from the opposite side.
I locked the car, and here is the walkway I used to go for a walk alongside the road, while in the shadow of these beautiful trees.
Returning to my car, walking back in the opposite direction.
Back at my car, I still had some time and decided to make another stop at Winston Park, a little further west of Kloof.
I love driving through this avenue along the main road through Winston Park, a residential area south of Hillcrest CBD.
The walkway along this road.
From time to time, when there was a quiet moment with no oncoming traffic, I slightly stepped out of the walkway to admire the avenue of trees alongside the road and to take some photos.
My last photo for this post was one such moment.
When I got back to the car it was time to fetch my wife.
Thank you for reading my post! I do appreciate it!
