dwarfing the skyline in the rear
a thunderstorm barrels down
from the North

Poem: Day’s end see main text paired with a photo Sunset corner Oxford & Jellicoe (Rosebank) A security guard stands at a pedestrian crossing oblivious to the evening colours behind blazing through Highveld Jacarandas and office blocks This image ©ilinkcs (2025/11)

What's on my mind today

is yesterday evening
is day's end
is the security guard
on one side
me on the other
both of us going home
waiting to cross over
behind him

is a Highveld sunset
is so everyday
is so magnificent
is so invisible

at day's end

A city park with wide green sward. A distant figure dressed in blue makes her way through the park on the right. Fluffy, soaring cumulus clouds in the sky with dark grey rain clouds moving in from the right; separated from the park scene by low hanging leaves foregrounded and distant trees backgrounded. Green grass stretches towards the trees.

I'm sat in the late afternoon under a canopy of bushes in Greenacres Park, Birdhaven, looking East The low sun behind picks out #cumulusclouds, dark #Highveld #thunderclouds threaten from the right.
The cooling #evening settles my mind.

There are no good days or bad days in a Wintery Highveld.
Just some days are better than others

Except. Except when the cold sweeps in from the berg
But that’s for another day …

Day 5; 25 new species and 15 ‘lifers’ - highlights were Gurney’s Sugarbird, Bokmakierie, Cape Grassbird and a species I’ve wanted to see for years….. Secretarybird.

Dust road after the rain in the South African #savannah
There is nothing quite as magical and exhilarating as being in the heart of a dramatic highveld thunderstorm.
