This had always been a favourite stop whenever we travelled the Garden Route back to Cape Town at the beginning of the University year and we had visited again a couple of times after graduating when heading back to visit friends. We had always been taken by &#8220;<a title=\"Under Milkwood\" href=\"http:\/\/www.milkwood.co.za\/under-milkwood-knysna-self-catering-chalets-and-bed-breakfast\/\" target=\"_blank\">Under Milkwood<\/a>&#8220;, a collection of wooden chalets under a stand of Milkwood trees on the edge of the lagoon close to the Knysna Heads, and had once stretched our meagre budget to spend a night there. When planning this trip we had booked 3 nights and were looking forward to revisiting an old favourite place and using Knysna as a base to explore from and unpack for a few days. The location is perfect with the Heads a short walk away, the lagoon for swimming and kayaking and a wetland a brief drive away for photographing birds so it felt like 3 days in paradise.<\/p>\n<p>One of my aims was to try and get an image showing the ruggedness and danger of the passage between the Heads as I had been reading the Kindle edition of the English translation of <a title=\"Fiela's Child\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Fielas-Child-Dalene-Matthee-ebook\/dp\/B009TRA6YU\/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1409396468&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=Fielas+child\" target=\"_blank\">Fiela se Kind by Dalene Matthee<\/a> which Edin&#8217;s aunt had given her to read on the trip. The book is set in the Knysna area and the Heads and the sea between them has a significant role in the story. It is an absorbing book\u00a0which I would love to read again in Afrikaans as there were areas where it was obvious that the translation was losing some\u00a0of the beauty\u00a0of the original language.<\/p>\n<p>On the evening of our arrival we took a walk to the Heads and the sky was quite stormy with some rain squalls on the horizon and a yacht making its way in. The only way to the record horizontal angle that\u00a0I wanted was using 3 images to create a panorama. These were taken with the Fuji X100 and assembled in Photoshop &#8211; the apparent 2 yachts being the same one at 2 stages in its journey. It&#8217;s a bit frustrating to present at web res as the full file has a lot of detail and texture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For this post we are back to our South Africa travelogue\u00a0and the\u00a0next stop on our\u00a0trip was Knysna.
