As I mentioned yesterday, about a month after I took this photo, the restoration order was published in the paper and over the next several years they set about restoring this row of former warehouses and stores into cafes, bars and shops. If you were to look at the same view today, you’d notice many of the rook lines remain the same but there’s a degree more homogenization and cleanliness about the place. No more bushes growing in the gutters.
On this survey we were using four Failing Y1100 vibrators mounted on International 6×6 trucks as our energy source. In this photo you can see the four vibrators shaking the ground and carving their way through the maize. In the foreground a spare fifth vibrator sits idle, ready to go to work if one of the other four breaks down. In the background are the Schoonspruit/Skoonspruit grain silos.
