A different view of part of the Langebaan lagoon. Taken from the same vantage point as the photos taken of the board walk and the houseboat.
Title taken from the song by Paul Simon.

@dj.tigersprout: No problem - there are a number of roads in the park. We just stopped along this particular road leading off from the main one.

Nice title song ! :-)
Your picture suits well this Simon & Gardfunkel's song. Solid. As a rock.
