Old postcards










The bride to be sent me down to Kalk-Bay to hunt for vintage postcards. Ray and I found them at the Quagga - a dark and dusty shop, lined with towering bookshelves, but somehow cheerful with its fullness of memories, catching glimpses into times long past.

Curiosity

"Drawn by curiosity and eager desire, wishing to see the various and strange shapes made by nature, I wandered some distance among gloomy, overhanging rocks, coming to the entrance of a large cave. I stood in front of it for some time, kneeling and shading my eyes, stupefied and amazed, for I did not have prior knowledge of its existence. Suddenly, two things arose in me - fear and desire. Fear of the menacing darkness of the cave, and desire to see if there was any marvelous thing inside it."
