Things I love about the North West

Three Rivers Woodland Park, a township?

For my Fmp project and travelling to Africa, I wanted to create some portraits from something good in the North West! From this I had the idea of incorporating the environment of the North West, with holidays in the North West, townships and the pure charactors in the  North West. From this I end up at 3 Rivers! Which would be known as something called a township in Africa, the term coming from before the apartheid, where a part in a town was reserved simply for black, and coloured people, along with working class indians.

Heres a little bit about the place:
