My First View of South Africa

When I got to South Africa, it was as if I was in a storybook tale. The train ride was just the start of my sensitivity to the aesthetic beauty and personal discovery for a lifetime commitment of passion to the continent of Africa. South Africa differs variously from West Africa, which is where my art is born. My footprint on South Africa is one of simple fun and vacation. I remember the innumerable seals covering the oceanfront. There had to be hundreds, even thousands, literally covering the land. It was a marvelous sight to witness. Another fascinating object that caught my attention was the two oceans. The Indian Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean meet at the most southern tip of Africa. The point where these two bodies of water meet are unbelievably noticeable. It is a natural phenomenon! The Indian Ocean's eastern position creates warmer temperatures, while the Atlantic Ocean's western position is cooled. Assuming there are many reasons for the visual difference in the water, the two oceans seemed as if they stayed on their own side, divided almost. Again, it was a great experience in Africa. I can't wait until my next trip to South Africa, sometime the beginning of 2010!
