About Another photo of Dirk Waterboer taken in the shade of his veranda at the Pella Mission Station in the Northern Cape, South Africa. Dirk (85 years old) is the grandson of the famous Griqua leader Andries Waterboer who was in constant conflict with the colonizing British army. In 1803 the London Missionary Society extended its mission north of the Orange river among a mixed community consisting of members of a Chaguriqua tribe, people from Piketberg, and local tribes like the Koranna and Tswana. Their leaders were Adam Kok ll and Andries Waterboer. In 1813 the Piketberg people were named Griquas, and the town Griquatown by the Rev John Campbell. Griquatown is known for its semiprecious stones, tiger's eye and jasper. The town is a centre for the stockbreeding farmers and farming products include wool and karakul pelts.

Also a very nice portrait, but I like the B&W better. The B&W works better for this old man.
Best wishes, Sascha
