Gibson Guitar wall
Gibson Guitar wal, originally uploaded by Craig Strachan.
A wall at Planet Hollywood, Times Square. It contains a couple of hundred Gibson Guitars, mostly the Les Paul.
This is a fitting memorial to the famous Les Paul, who died on August 13 2009. He created the Gibson Les Paul guitar, which was played by almost every rock band in the world.
He also invented multi-track recording, which of course revolutionised the music industry.

Perspective at Kirstenbosch

As you must have gathered by now, I spend the day yesterday at Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens.
Magic Tree at Kirstenbosch
A few years ago, a Yellow wood tree in Kirstenbosch Gardens split in half during a storm. The team at Kirstenbosch simply filled the gap with soil, left the tree and hoped for the best. If you look at the picture below, you can clearly see the split in the middle.
Kirstenbosch Gardens, Magic Tree
The amazing thing is that the tree just continued to grow, and is quite happy and healthy. Amazing what nature can do, isn’t it.
So, now the tree is known as the Magic Tree, because to survive what it went through must have been magic!

Pretty amazing!
