Happy Heritage Day!

Today is Heritage Day in South Africa and to celebrate, last weekend the Johannesburg Heritage Foundation (JHF) hosted their annual Heritage Weekend. Lectures, a book sale, organized tours and ...

... a photography exhibit organized by the Joburg Photowalkers. 


Joburg Photowalkers are a community of photographers who meet up regularly to take pictures around Joburg. Vince and I participated in a few of their meet-ups when we first moved to Joburg and we had a ball! Their outings are a great way to safely get out and photograph some of the city's most iconic architecture, world astronomical events, annual festivals and local street scenes from unique vantage points in and around Joburg. Joburg Photowalkers also organize walks which focus on different photography techniques and themes. And it is a great way to meet other photographers.


The JHF exhibition featured photographs taken by the Joburg Photowalkers of some of this city's most recognizable places. The exhibit was like a photographic love letter to the city of Johannesburg!
