Finding more eye candy.

We traveled to a different area in the province that we have not visited before.

Some lovely sculptures but let me show you some parts of our travel first.

We love sculptures, and when an aunt in the family told us of the beautiful sculptures on a distant farm, we decided to go and see what it's all about. Note, that we do not idolize sculptures, and that we merely view them as works of art. The farm's name is Tokara, and it is in the Western Cape province. I will give you a link at the end of the post if you want to see more. We have many wine and olive farms in the area, and each farm is creating their identity by means of sculptures or other kinds of artworks. Not only artworks, because there are also restaurants on the farms, and tours arranged for visitors to explore the farm. Some farms also keep wildlife.

5 photos below of our travel to the farm.

Some earthworks were on the go at the right-hand side of the road here, and I think that it might be a new residential development.

This row of white Nguni cattle sculptures was at the entrance to the Tokara farm.

And now, for the sculptures.

A sculpture here, of a Khoi-San lady, relaxing at a riverside.

Yay! Runner ducks in copper, and I did a post some time ago about live runner ducks on a farm.

No idea what this is, but there is a human body laying on its back in the water and an animal on its chest, staring into the body's face, and a chicken on top of the lot.

The wording on the ring, looks as follows: "Just bee...open...soft...undefended".

Someone had a bath or a swim and sits at the side of the pool to dry out.

Finally, a lady with her little friend.

Great fun to type all of this on my new computer, and I hope that it turned out okay as a first effort. The old PC is not happy, as it had a 2002 windows operating system. So, lately, with all the new things around, size is a matter and the poor old PC just started gradually to run at tortoise speed. This new one is frightening because it has a very fast response to anything that I type, and I already made a few blurbs. Thankfully, it is simple to erase and repeat.
I have a lot more photos on this trip to share with you and will do so gradually over time. Lovely country mountains and landscapes galore.
We also went on to a berry farm and I will also do some posts about that farm.
But for now, this is it and I hope that you liked it.

Enjoy the new PC. Mine is a few years old, but still works fine, especially after I worked out how to fix issues with it running out of memory.

Nice collection of sculptures. Is it a permanent exhibit? There are a few sculpture gardens around the UK.

Not as easy as one would think, as I had the old one for many years, and now over time, there has been many changes in the apps and software. So, it will take some time for me to get used to this one, as nothing is where it's supposed to be.

All of the sculptures are for sale and it's an ideal way for the artists to expose their work to the public that visits the farm. We love sculpture gardens and also have a few here.

Congrats on the new computer and a wonderful adventure! I can’t tell you whether I am drawn in more by the neat sculptures or the epic country side. Seeing the mountains towering over fields with crops and the harsh landscape with green fighting its way out of it really takes me away.

Mostly just slush and grey up here but love thinking it is the warm season where you are!

Thank you for the appreciation Zeke, and we will soon be going back on the route to explore the places around the big mountains.

Grey and white is also stunning for us, as we never have it in our winters. You are right, as it is summer here in the Southern hemisphere. !LOLZ
