I know this is meant to be A photo A day, (as in 1 each day!) but I just had to pop this extra one in, because things are cooking here today, and tomorrow is the 1st day of the month, which means it is theme day, so tomorrow will be a BRIDGE picture.
The SA Proteas Cricket team played the NZ black caps here today, in fact as I am typing this, the match has just ended, with New Zealand giving South Africa a very decisive hiding!
We have a unique cricket ground, it is called the St Georges Oval, after the Park in which it is situated. It has a pretty grandstand, designed by top local architect John Rushmere, and is renowned in South Africa as the only cricket ground which has a resident brass band. The music always adds great atmosphere to the matches here, and it is a small ground, so boundaries are often hit and matches are exciting.
haha.. it's ok.
ReplyDeletei sometimes post more than 1 photo a day. a few in fact. ;-)
Waiting to see your Theme Day post. We are already halfway through 1 Dec here. ;-p
What a great photo this is I love the shape of this building
ReplyDeletewell well, a unique interpretation of the theme - Hyde DP is carrying permalinks to the bridge posts and will be updated at intervals until Dec 2nd.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your visit and nice comment. You photos are great, this one has a nice atmosphere.
ReplyDeleteVery very cool photo! :-D
ReplyDeleteGorgeous shot. What type of music does the band play? I'm not very familiar with cricket grounds, I'm afraid. ;)
ReplyDeleteOh, and the car, up there. Who won it? It was a grand prize right?
well spotted fenix! Yup, i think it is for the batsman who gets 6 sixes in an over, last acheived by Herschel Gibbs during the recent Cricket world cup in the Carribean.
