A Quick (like 40-minute-quick) Trip to Paternoster.

It was a Sunday, and I was going to be treated to a Portuguese fish dish, but we had no white onions. (Red onions don’t cut it.) The closest shop was the Ok Minimark in Paternoster, so off I go, with camera as always, happy for any opportunity.

I got there just before they closed at 4pm, then took a quick walk around, before rushing back. Here are a few shots in the space of about 40 mins..

I stepped out of the OK, and these guys were waiting for #6..

Reunited :)

I asked him, "Are you AJ?" He was, indeed, so we had a quick chat about business, gentrification etc.. He's lived there his whole life.
The red Coca-Cola signs don't age well.

I'm always asked to take a photo. Ok, come face the sun. Where are you okes off to? We're off to AJ's.. Cool, ek het hom nou net ontmoet.

I prefer walking around the older parts of Paternoster, where the living is real.

I love the cameo appearance of the dog.

He was happy to pose for a photo, alongside his boat.

Can I take a photo of you taking a photo?
(A bit of a habit of mine!)

This is Elizabeth, she is 73, and one of The Originals, as I refer to them. Elizabeth is enjoying her seaview. (I’m sorry I didn’t capture that.)

The chimney of this fisherman’s cottage is typical of the architecture of the area.

They had a run on Springbok jerseys this weekend, before our momentous win over the All Blacks.

‘n bietjie barok..

One more for my Windows collection. 🙂That's the sea in the distance.

They have their little sunspot to enjoy a beer or three, conveniently situated right next to the bottle store.

The local church. Well, a small part of it..

For the love of minimalism.

For the love of minimalism.

Eish, RIP!🙏🙏
