African Beach Calligraphy

PreviousNext

A very interesting idea comes to Andrew van der Merwe from Cape Town, South Africa – calligraphy on the beach.

Unfortunately these beauties are surviving in the wild about an hour before the wind bursts the sand or the sea to wash away the letters. Most of the forms are inspired by the African writing systems.


Много интересна идея има южноафриканския калиграф Andrew van der Merwe – калиграфия по плажа.

За съжаление тези красоти оцеляват в природата около час, преди вятърът да пръсне пясъка или морето да измие буквите. Повечето от формите са инспирирани от Африканските писмени системи, представляват своеобразен микс от тях.

    sometimes it is the short lived beauty that is most inspiring isn't it?

    I really like your blog by the way: bilingual, clean and optimistic indeed.Especially the design and the colors.

This is the second largest island in the Bay and has many stories to tell. Most of them - probably not so happy. The island was used as an immigration station where officials detained, inspected and examined approximately one million immigrants. Many people primarily from Asia, have to spend here months waiting for the heir immigration status.
