Going to work

Sweets and Angel has posts last week showing photos of their trips to work, and I've decided to do the same thing. I thought it was going to be easy! Well, it ended up being more tricky than I thought to take relatively ok'ish photos from the moving car! I should have probably made sure that my windows were clean too :)
Just as well there were no cops in sight ;)

They're in no particular order.

The FNB building in Fairlands... the reason for the increase in traffic. The building has finally finished (
I posted about it before), and there are a few thousand more people on the roads in the area as a result.

Swinging in the park. Notice the lack of green!

Leaf sweeper. This poor guys sweeps the leaves from this car park every morning... what a thankless job!

High walls... a common sight around JHB!

And finally, the empty parkade where I park my car.

So, as you can see, it's not riveting stuff, but LOL, that'll all I got for you today folks :)
I'll do my trip home next week. I don't go on the same roads on the way home, so the photos will be vastly different.

Very interesting shots. I love that you captured some of the daily sights around there. And yes, you did have a very clean window ;) My car shots always have smears on them...

actually I DID find it rivetting, because the pictures combined with the commentary give such a wonderful sense of Joburg, I almost felt I was there (sucking up the exhaust fumes) while going through them. GREAT POST!
