Shades of Winter in South Africa

I've put together an album of some of the scenes of winter 2009 in Johannesburg, or at least in the neighbourhood and surrounds.

Winter here, is very different to what most people expect - it's normally very sunny during the day, the sky is ice blue, but the days can at times be very cold, mostly due to "wind chill factor". During the night temperatures plummet, to zero or less, especially in July, which is the coldest month for us, in effect our winter month!
