south africa - johannesburg

too short photo trip, mainly in two towns of South Africa : johannesburg and Durban. too often taken from the car... the photos, in johannesburg, in durban, and along the N1 Road wich links the two towns. 3 weeks spent in south africa, it is really too short for visiting these towns. perhaps 6 months in johannesburg is enough there are peoples from so many countrys to meet in this huge town. immigration is coming from all africa, and more, attract by the new hope wich began with the end of apartheid... and when you're from rich and old europe, it's not so easy to follow the very fast rythm of joburg. un trop court séjour en afrique du sud, principalement dans les grandes villes du nord est sud africain: twsane, johannesburg et durban. quelques photos, prises souvent de la voiture, traduisent tant bien que mal l'ambiance de ces villes. ultra cosmopolites, tout le monde africain se retrouve en particulier à joburg, mais aussi d'autres continents, évidemment l'europe, également l'inde, avec une communauté très importante, surtout à durban. si vous projetez d'aller dans ces villes, écoutez attentivement les mises en garde en rapport avec une insécurité réelle, il faut bien sûr rester toujours quelque peu vigilant, mais il faut aussi ne pas s'entraver et tenter , jamais seul , de visiter des quartiers dont ont dit souvent qu'ils sont trop dangereux, car ce peut être un grand regret de s'enfermer dans les secteurs "safe" des villes. et de passer à côté du pan le plus important, le plus riche, et le plus bouillonant de la société sud africaine. smith street with the 88 on field building <a href="durban-88onField.htm">smith street - 88 on field building</a> baker street full of busy crowd <a href="durban-bakerStreet.htm">baker street</a> drop in a taxico <a href="durban-dropInTaxico.htm">minibus</a> fashion discount <a href="durban-fashiondiscount.htm">fashion discount</a> florida street, strange bus <a href="durban-floridabus.htm">bus in florida street</a> ordonnance road <a href="durban-ordonnanceRd02.htm">.</a><a href="durban-ordonnanceRd.htm">ordonnance road</a> panorama of durban from the memorial tower in the kawazulu natal university <a href="durban-panodurban.htm">durban panorama</a> pantheress in her very secured car <a href="durban-panthera.htm">security</a> smith street <a href="durban-smithSt.htm">people in smith street</a> sea front from springfield road <a href="durban-spingfieldRd.htm">durban's sea front</a> palm trees , sun, sea <a href="durban-sunsea.htm">clouds</a> western freeway <a href="durban-westernFreeWay.htm">center from the western free way</a> the apartheid museum <a href="joburg-ApartheidMuseum.htm">apartheid museum</a> joburg center from M1 <a href="joburg-centerFromM1.htm">joburg</a> joburg : 11 diagonal street building <a href="joburg-diamond01.htm">11 diagonal street</a> <a href="joburg-diamond02.htm">.</a> <a href="joburg-diamond03.htm">.</a> on the road to durban <a href="joburg-freeState01.htm">country side</a> <a href="joburg-freeState02.htm">road to durban</a> <a href="joburg-freeState03.htm">mountains</a> <a href="joburg-freeState04.htm">mont rose</a> <a href="joburg-freeState05.htm">drakkensberg</a> hillbrow and bramfontain from M1 <a href="joburg-hillbrowBramfontein.htm">hillbrow and bramfontain</a> police touring in Melville <a href="joburg-police.htm">police in melville</a> rosebank mall <a href="joburg-rosebank.htm">rich mall</a> soweto from Vilakazi street, in front of the mandela's house <a href="joburg-soweto.htm">soweto</a> photos from the "top of africa" (carlton center tower) <a href="joburg-TopOfAfrica01.htm">carlton center</a> <a href="joburg-TopOfAfrica02.htm">carlton center</a> <a href="joburg-TopOfAfrica03.htm">carlton center</a> <a href="joburg-TopOfAfrica04.htm">carlton center</a> <a href="joburg-TopOfAfrica05.htm">carlton center</a> <a href="joburg-TopOfAfrica06.htm">carlton center</a> <a href="joburg-TopOfAfrica07.htm">carlton center</a> <a href="joburg-TopOfAfrica08.htm">carlton center</a> arriving in south africa : a township from the sky <a href="joburg-township.htm">township</a> Tv star on annet road <a href="joburg-TVstar.htm">TV star</a> on the road to durban in the kwazulu natal <a href="kwazuluNatal-lesothoBackGround.htm">kawazulu natal</a> <a href="kwazuluNatal-lesothoBackGround.htm">kawazulu natal</a> <a href="kwazuluNatal-sugarcanefields.htm">kawazulu natal</a> <a href="kwazuluNatal-sugarcanetruck.htm">kawazulu natal</a> panorama of joburg <a href="panofromifas.htm">johannesburg panorama</a> website and photos by <a href="http://www.bomsky.com">bomsky</a>, except photos "township from the air", "back in europe" and "11 diagonal street building" by Mathilde Clerc
