in #photography5 years ago

Just a photographic story of our recent trip to Craddock from Cape Town to attend a family members wedding.

Dry and dusty for hundreds of kilometers. There was a very strong hot wind blowing with the temperature outside at 39 degrees celcius (102 fahrenheit)

Graaf Reinett and the imposing Dutch Reformed Church

On the 12th April 1886 the foundation stone was laid for the fourth and existing church which is Gothic Revival and based on the lines of Salisbury Cathedral in England with the inaugural sermon delivered on the 11th September 1887. The stone for this church was obtained locally and the church which can seat 1,250 and has a steeple of 45, 72 metres boasts a chimney, an unusual feature for a church.

That first photo looks like a rather ominous scene set 🤣

That’s a really long and really nice looking drive 😳 very nice set for the wedding though, was it amazing?

Absolutely stunning ... the catering was excellent...the only weak 'ish part was the DJ . Otherwise was really decent with over 180 guests....

I bet you wished you could have stepped in and taken over the music!
