This is life
on a farm...
During their interviews, most of the contestants of the popular kykNET
series,
Boer soek ‘n vrou
, mentioned that they were looking forward
to the peace and quiet of the farm. We invite all amateur photogra-
phers who wish to show what life on a farm is really like, to enter the
2015
SA Grain
/Sasol Chemicals (Fertiliser) photo competition. How
would you capture the essence of farm life: The dawn of a new day,
the cattle ambling about or the activities of human hands? Your photo
of the tranquillity that is visible from the farm house
stoep
could just
be one of this year’s winning photos!
