Load-shedding (or planned power cuts) is commonpla Load-shedding (or planned power cuts) is commonplace in South Africa. For hours at a time, the electricity shuts off and people and businesses have to figure out clever ways to keep food from spoiling, process payments and avoid stubbing their toes in the dark.

For nearly a year, much of the country was free from load-shedding, but last weekend, it returned with a vengeance (apparently due to 'wet coalโ€™). It was amazing to see the network of workarounds spring back into action.

Battery-powered LED lamps appeared everywhere. Backup generators started humming. Katโ€™s powerful effort involved making toast in a saucepan.

Graaff-Reinet must be one of the most beautifully Graaff-Reinet must be one of the most beautifully situated towns we've come across. Mountains everywhere and a lush green that sets it apart from a lot of other Karoo towns, which tend to feature browns, oranges and yellows (deserty autumn chic). There's a rugby pitch just right of centre on the bottom edge of this photo. We sat and watched the game for a while. Tiny ants.

Something I didn't expect, coming out here, was to Something I didn't expect, coming out here, was to get so obsessed with clouds. Last night we walked a mile or two outside of town to watch a storm approach from different sides. It rained and thundered on one mountain but not another. The church near the koppie darkened, apocolyptically, as a huge, black blanket formed over it. The olive farm burned pink and orange. I love the Karoo sky show. Less so the tiny, unidentified bugs that feast on my ankles every time I change lens.

We only spent an hour or two in this little Karoo We only spent an hour or two in this little Karoo town, stopping over on the way to Fraserburg, but fell head over heels in love. Quirky buildings, alien looking cacti in gardens, mountains, lovely people and huge Twin Peaks vibes. None of these things are pictured here but I got a little sidetracked with this truck and its infectiously positive outlook.

This wasn't the easiest catch but I'm pretty happy This wasn't the easiest catch but I'm pretty happy with it. We'd walked up to the koppie (South African for "rocky hill") to watch the sunset unfold. Not another soul there, big angry clouds convening. A red and copper sky. A beautiful sunset. The wind was beserk and it was hard to stand upright or hold the camera still. Then, as the sunset came to a close, all hell broke loose. Great electric cracks and glowing clouds. I tried in vain to catch the thunderclap 'moment' but it kept evading me, or clapping in a different area, or I would miss it by a beat. We walked home and the storm kept on, getting closer still. I stood outside the cottage for another 45 minutes and finally got it.
