About John Vriesekolk

I’ve lived about 60 year on this planet and always loved photography. Never more so than after I went digital. It is so good and so easy. With the push of a couple of buttons I can recall images with memories otherwise put in an album and only to be seen when searching for something else. Memories from walks and holidays I like to share. Please have a look at the images and stories and leave a comment if you like. It will be much appreciated by me.

    Nice shot John. This beach reminds me so much of a beach close to me here in Australia called Gunnamatta. If you want to have a look, a shot of it is here (not my photogaphy, just found on Google): http://v3.nonxt3.c.bigcache.googleapis.com/stat...

  • Hi Claire. That beach indeed looks very similar. You’re lucky living so close to the beach. Thanks for your lovely comment. Much appreciated.

    A nice beach scene & I like your composition John. Beaches always look better with just a few people I reckon.

  • For the image, it’s nice to see a few people on the beach. Too many is not good while none is not a nice look either. It seems to be a good surfing place too. Thanks for your comment Michael. Muuch appreciated.
