“Someone on Flickr said I should put this picture on Rooms With Great Views. This is the view from our guest flat above the garage at our house on Thesen Islands, Knysna South Africa. We built it for friends to visit us. We also rent it out very reasonably. I am South African, my wife Mexican. We lived in the US for 15 years before we moved here.”
