Gauteng is vibrant, sophisticated, cosmopolitan, and unmistakably the African heart of Africa. Its rich and diverse heritage developed from an infusion of global cultures locked in purposeful economic and social endeavour for over a century. 

Although lacking the spectacular attractions of the Cape Province or Mpumalanga, Gauteng has a subtle character all of its own. Startling outcrops of rock known as koppies, with intriguing and often lucrative geology, are set in open grassy plains of deep-red earth, and the usually mild climate is broken occasionally by spectacular lightning and massive summer storms, which can unleash torrents of water within seconds. 

The light, particularly at dawn and dusk, is a photographer's dream, rendering serene and compelling even the starkest of industrial landscapes.
