Hipsta-South Africa

Lonely Planet has this to say about South Africa: "It befits its position at the Southern end of the world's most epic continent, with more types of terrain than photographers can shake their zoom lens at." The following pictures are a snapshop of my road trip through South Africa (roughly the size of Texas) in February, including an overnight stay in Prince Albert in the Cape (near a place called De Hel, literally meaning hell, but really the opposite because of its beauty). The Great Karoo has also been described as Die Niks (the nothing), however one cannot but be seduced by its charm...
