Namaqualand in the Northern Cape is world renowned for its flower season. And this year was something spectacular. 2020 was and still is an extremely difficult year for earthlings. Covid-19. A pandemic. Worldwide lockdowns. But Namaqualand has come to the table and lift the human spirit bit by bit. Showcasing her best flowers in almost a decade after several years of extreme dought.
We had good rains and everyone was betting on a beautiful flowers season. Namaqualand did not disappoint. Springbok, Concordia and surroundings areas were covered in an array of colors. Purple, white and orange flowers were a kaleidoscopic vision. A sensory overload for many tired eyes.
We all walked a little slower, breathed a little easier and deeper. Lingered in the fields of gold, surrounded by magical moments. Families came together for picnics and walks. Cameras worked overtime. And just for a while we forgot about the pandemic and enjoyed mother nature’s gift to 2020.
