Wupperthal. Leitz Summicron 35mm V4.

Today totally got away from me.  First, there was spring cleaning and then cooking dinner for guests this evening.  Now it's 11:00PM and I'm searching through my archives looking for an image with which to defy the Blip Constabulary.  I found this one taken in August 1993 using my dad's Leica M2 loaded with Fuji 800 ISO film. 
This is the tiny little hamlet of Wupperthal, deep in the Cederberg (mountains) north of Cape Town.  It was founded in 1830 as a mission station of the Moravian church and this status continues to the present day.  The folk that live there are in the business of harvesting the local bush which is used to produce Rooibos Tea and also manufacturing shoes and ankle boots called veldskoene which have a characteristic sole made from old car tires.  The shoes are known as "Wupperthal Jawlers" in South African slang.  Wupperthal is a little village of one street, the Moravian church, a post office, a little gas station and some cottages, and it takes some effort to get there over two untarred mountain passes culminating in a steep serpentine descent into the village.  Some of this road is visible in the photograph.  Many years ago, in the 1970s, on a family vacation, we tried to get there and, with a winter downpour, the dirt roads became impassable.  Finally, on a visit to South Africa in 1993, a friend and I set out, determined to reach the town.  Here's a link to the Wiki article for those wanting more information.
