Our last day of travel back home--very sad we will miss our nomadic life. We had got the camp set-up waxed, an hour and tents up, beds made, and braai on the go--pretty good going. But we planning our next trip... Watch this space if you not too bored! Sterkfontein Dam another of our GREAT dams. Last signal stop Sunrise at HOME _________ We spent the weekend sorting and tweaking our set-up, ready for the next time.
The campsite at Waschbank was so good we had to return on the way home. To further Howard's education even more we made a stop at Nieu Bethesda, 'The Owl House' (Not sure Howard thought much of that education) but it was a worthwhile if unsettling stop.
Literally everything in the house is covered in fine shards of various coloured glass. Quite unnerving, gives the feeling of danger, like a pot scourer rubbing at your skin, a mind not at home with life trying to find a way to reconcile the inner thoughts with the world around them. Having my own experience of troubled minds I could see immediately the disturbance some of it very similarly themed to my mums. It is a very visual representation of a schizophrenic's' mind and in that could be helpful for some who struggle to understand the concept. For me the artistic element was swamped by the disturbance but when viewed without that lense some of the sculptures are beautiful and if seen alone have great merit.
