Searchlights Above North Gate Mall

// December 12th, 2005 // 2 Comments » // Photos

By now most people in Joburg have probably noticed the searchlights in the Northriding area. Like a moth to a flame, I was intrigued to find out where exactly it came from, so I drove over to North Gate Mall in search of the lights. The â€œshakyâ€ pic was taken from a moving vehicle, but next time Iâ€™ll whip out the tripod instead.

I personally liked the way the lights bounced off the cloudy sky.

Note the trail of light at the bottom of the pic. It was a car driving at quite a high speed, considering the exposure was around 1.9 seconds long.

I’m sure some brainy type will be able to calculate at what speed the car would have been travelling.

It Was A Waxident Officer

Following on from a previous (and highly visited) post about waxing gone wrong, I bring you a new instalment from Betty on the Beach.

To make a long (but highly entertaining and kinda kinky) story short, she initially went for a brazilian, but had a bit of a Waxident in the process. Believing that it was not on, she decided that everything had to come off…

I’m hot and bothered now…

PS: Come on gals – send more stories like this…wait beter yet, send proof!
