I just had to stop when I saw this.

We were nearing our destination, and stopped at a farmstall.

It was the same place where I got the lizard sculpture.

This post is also suitable for #wednesdaywalk, hosted by a friend @tattoodjay

The place is called The Creative Hub, and we saw many arty creations here. We were ten kilometers out before the town of Ceres, and travelling from the Cape to Ceres, this place will be on the right-hand side of the road. Now this place is not an ordinary farmstall, as it is situated on large ground on the lower slopes of a mountain, and I think this is where artists gather to display their creations.
So, come and take a walk around with me and bring your camera with.

This was the first view on the road.

The wife went inside to get us some coffee, as we had come a far road and we were thirsty.

I snapped a quick pick inside the shop.

While my wife was waiting for the coffee, I did a quick exploration of the art works.

Look how this windmill was redesigned into symbols of peace and gratitude.

That lion is at the front of the shop next to the road.

It was time for us to go, and madam waved a goodbye to all of you.

On the road again towards our destination.

A problem that I have lately, is that I cannot sit for very long. The lower two vertebra in my spine are almost non-existent anymore and if I sit for long periods, it sends cramp signals down to my legs. So, every few kilometers we have to stop for me to get out and stretch my legs. The one good thing about it, is I can then also take photos of the surrounds. It was on one such occasion that I got the Aquila eagle, that you saw in a previous post. I used to push straight through, even on very long distances, such as non-stop from Johannesburg to the Cape, and also to Namibia and Zimbabwe. Those days are over now, and I am glad that I can get lovely photos on this stop-and-ride business. I should have done it a long time ago, as it gives a person ample time to take nice photos.
Such is life.

Note: Should you ever be in the area, don't forget to visit The Creation Hub.

I like the sight of Madam, the windmill sculpture, and that stunning mountain in your last photo way more than those scary-looking dragons! They're real works of art though!

...it sends cramp signals down to my legs.

And, you still look for the positives!
Have a lovely evening Zac, and say hi to your lovely Lady Marian <3

Thank you, my dear Lizzie, and I thought that your reply would be something like this, as you are a gentle soul. I only discovered after I did the post, that the Creative Hub where I took the photos is in fact a very good cause, as they work with the artists in the townships to establish their own small businesses. The manager didn't tell me about it when we were there. So, I did a late edit on the post now and inserted their website link in a [Source] citing near the end of the post.

Better always to be positive than negative, and my mom used to say that one day I will go into my grave with a smile on my face. I hope that it will come true !LOLZ

I hope that your evening will also be good, and Marian sends her !LUV
