Description

As the year runs its last lap to the finish line, we look back at the 50th anniversary of the moon landing. The world celebrated humans’ capacity to achieve great things this year, and it made us proud earthlings. Not to mention, South Africa won the Rugby World Cup! It also made us think about what’s next… technology is growing almost daily. We have moved from moon landings to colonies on Mars, while spectral imaging is redefining how we see colour.

It’s so fast that humans are almost racing to catch up to the changing ways of the world. At SN we celebrate hard work and achievement, but once in a while we like to slow down, take a whiff of fresh, bushveld air and remind ourselves of the important things, like getting back in touch with nature. If you’re dreaming of a bushveld excursion, then read on as Ant takes us to the Kruger National Park. We also respect nature as it is a force of great power that can heal and restore itself when we leave our dirty footprints behind. Even the Berlin Wall has something to say about that!

Happy reading!
