    Another stunner, Chris. Lovely light and BG. Kamfers Dam sounds like a real success story.

    Thanks for the comments guys! Not sure what the latest is on Kamfers Dam...the politics around it is dirty and allegations of bribery are rife. To the best of my knowledge a final decision on the development around the dam is still pending. The government guys that opposed it in their private capacity have now taken their case to court to contest their suspension...

    Well done here Chris!
    Can one get close to the subjects at Kamfers, from a normal public perspective or do one need special permission?
