Sorry posting has been a bit slow recently… I’ve been very busy re-locating to South Africa and trying to make good progress on writing up my thesis. Actually, the next few months may be somewhat lighter with posting as I actually write up this thesis of mine!
To tide over my blog readers, I thought I’d post a few pictures from my new home here in South Africa. Last weekend my fiance and I spent the weekend in Robertson, South Africa to visit family and take care of some arrangements for our upcoming wedding in October. The Robertson area is beautiful and also geological– the landscape around Nuy Valley, the wine farm where we are having our wedding, is dominated by folded and faulted sandstones hills and mountains.
Below are a few pictures from the Nuy Valley Wine Farm. The skies are a bit overcast in some of the pictures because of winter rain, but even in winter the landscape is gorgeous. Enjoy!

What a beautiful place! Perfect for geologists’ weddings! I just hope there aren’t too many geos in attendance, as there’s a risk they’ll wander off halfway to go get their hands on those rocks. 😉
Good luck on the thesis writing. Hopefully it will go smoothly and behave itself! If a time comes when you need to scream, you know where to find me, and I have sturdy ears.

Thanks, Dana! Nuy Valley should be even prettier with springtime flowers.
There actually will be quite a few geologists in attendance, but hopefully we can keep people more or less confined by offering good food, wine, and music. We’re serving lamb roasted on a spit and kingklip (a type of fish) and many other tasty things.

All the best for the writing and the wedding. That is the first time I heard of someone putting up a statue OF a pigeon.
I`m a fomer geologist (a reformed & recovering one according to my wife) and I love reading this blog.
