Our View

Here's a picture of the view from our apartment. Here you're looking south at what we call the "Jacaranda Tower", though it really has a more boring name. The Jacaranda tree is a municipal symbol, and the neon really captures the color of the flower. On our first night in Pretoria, I asked when the jacarandas bloom. "In spring, October-November". Sigh, we won't get to see the city lit up with these lovely flowers. But we still have the Jacaranda Tower every evening.

Here's another pic during one fantastic electrical storm.
