Street art - Caledon

Yesterday was admin day; getting a South African permanent residence stamp put into my recently re-issued EU passport. The Home Affairs office in Caledon is about 90km away, but smaller, less busy and therefore more likely to deliver the service I need in a fraction of the time of the bigger (and nearer) offices in the centre of Cape Town.

As it happened, I was in and out in ten minutes, with an entire day stretching in front of me.

Caledon is a small town in the heart of our barley and hop growing sectors. Apart from a maltings plant belonging to SA Breweries, it has little else to recommend it.

This car - the rear end rests on a large pile of bricks hence the slope - is parked outside a large house in a side street near Home Affairs. The house walls are painted with a variety of quasi-political messages that made me think it is a refuge of some kind for the poor white communities in the area.

But let's not go there.

The car has been hand painted; this is the passenger side.
