A few nice photo sites images I found:
Cradle of Humankind - Sunrise

A new day breaks in the "Cradle of Humankind" (a World Heritage Site in Kromdraai, Gauteng, South Africa).
"Mrs. Ples" (Australopithecus africanus) was found in this area in 1947, and is currently the oldest human fossil found to date. This gave rise to the idea that Africa is the "Cradle of Humankind".
In 2008 two fossilised skeletons of a new species of early human "Australopithecus sediba" were discovered.
Winter, June 2007.
Best viewed LARGE.

the now cleared old site of the Scottish & Newcastle Brewery is being built upon at last, this last phase should have started a while ago but as with many projects everywhere it went into stasis with the economy crash, now something being built here, don't know what yet. Shot from table outside pub by the cinema across the road from the site, which is itself constructed on what used to be another part of the massive former brewery, the cinema, restaurant, pub complex was the first development on that old industrial site, helped top open up that area of town very nicely. Shot this while sitting at table on pavement outside pub across the road from them - a very relaxing way to take photos!
