EDITORS COMMENTS
. Step into the past with this incredible print of ASW-4750, showcasing a restored waterhole and watcher's farm house from World War 1. As you gaze at this image, imagine the bustling activity that once surrounded these windmill-powered waterholes in South Africa's Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. During the war, these strategically placed waterholes were guarded by dedicated farmers who maintained them in exchange for farming rights in the area. It was a unique collaboration between military purposes and agricultural pursuits. The picturesque farmhouse stands as a testament to human resilience amidst nature's beauty. Nestled within vast farmland, it serves as a reminder of how humans have coexisted harmoniously with their surroundings throughout history. This print captures not only the historical significance but also showcases the stunning geography of Northern Cape, South Africa. The rolling plains and endless horizons create an awe-inspiring backdrop for this charming building. So take a trip back in time through Alan Weaving's lens and immerse yourself in an era where windmills spun gracefully while wildlife thrived around them. Let your imagination run wild as you ponder what life must have been like during those wartime years when man-made structures merged seamlessly with Mother Nature herself!
