Standerton via Heidelberg and Greylingstad

Saturday Morning 05:30am. Packed the Cameras, Sarmies and a Flask of Coffee and hit the road. Our aim was to visit some historical sites in and around Heidelberg, but we ended up going as far as Standerton when we heard about the old concentration camp there.

The old Stone Church in Heidelberg is a beautiful piece of architecture.


Beautiful Dark Roof and Gutters.


The side entrance to the Church Museum.


The ZARS museum in Heidelberg.


I thought the Power Station at Grootvlei was decomissioned, but it's up and running again.


The old Post Office in Greylingstad.


The Stone Church in Greylingstad.


Nice Door Handle!


Love to have gone inside, but it's closed on Saturday's.

A Landmark on the Greylingstad-Standerton Road. Was able to buy a Coke and a Black Label.

A statue and Plaque commemorating the Women and Children who perished in the concentration Camps - Standerton.


The Hindu Crematorium in Standerton

Love the Heidelberg photos. Drove past there twice (down and up to and from the South Coast) but.. have never stopped. :( Sad really. So much we miss out on. (See the link to Flentergat's "LANGPAD" post on my blog.. I think you'll enjoy reading that.

Will definitely keep checking on your trips. You really do have a good eye for beautiful things Chi. :)
