Signs of Pilgrims Rest

Images of some of the vintage and historical signs at Pilgrims Rest

- a living museum mining village in Mpumalanga.

It's the original mining town of the region and is still a beautiful place to visit.

For those interested, it's close enough to Mac Mac Falls (see post below), God's Window and even the Kruger National Park - for more info on the town, here is a link.
I hope to be posting more of the gorgeous and quirky signs over the weeks to come.

It seems that we were both visting this area round about the same time. As you might have gathered, Gaelyn from Gepgypsy was here and I took her to all the Sabi/Graskop area and then a week in Kruger, on down the coast as far as Durban, then inland to the Drakensberg. It was a great trip but as I had been there before, I let her take most of the pictures.; April 2, 2010 at 8:40 AM
SAPhotographs (Joan) said...: I forgot to add that I like the pictures you have on your blog. I also find all aspects of nature to be fascinating and take pictures wherever I go. Isn't this a wonderful country we live in with so much beauty surrounding it?; April 2, 2010 at 8:42 AM
