FINAL Countdown - ONE day to GO!!!

One day before the games were due to start, everybody was on the streets during their lunch hour (which went on a lot longer!) in support for our local team, Bafana Bafana.  There were people everywhere waving flags, blowing vuvuzelas, cars sounding their hooters, never seen such support - IT WAS AMAZING WOW!!

THINK BIG BAFANA

Rand Merchant Bank went to the trouble of putting decals on the windows of their building next door to the multistoried one with the ropes of flags.  As we all know, Bafana didn't make it to the second round but were instrumental in ousting France, 1-2, a huge achievement and make us proud? they most certainly did!

Rand Merchant Bank - going the Second Mile!

This was one of the most incredible displays supporting our local team, Bafana Bafana.  These flags flew  for the entire month of the World Cup.

Shot on a Nikon D2X (we now shoot mainly on Canon - hey, camera's don't matter!), this is still one of my favourite sun close-ups. Derrick, Nikon D2X / AF-S Nikkor 400mm f2.8
