The prize giving event for the 4th Buffalo City My360 photography competition was recently held in East London – and the organizers and sponsors were generous with giving out fantastic prizes. I’m happy and proud to announce that I received 3 of the 28 My360 photography competition prizes! My Buffalo City 360 photography competition placings and prizes:

Tea Under the Trees at Tea in the Trees in Cintsa
Well, we didn’t have tea under the trees at Tea in the Trees in Cintsa.

Some other visitors to Tea in the Trees did have tea under the trees, though, or …
