These are petrified trees, a gift from my cousin Flavia to John, her husband - they’re calculated to be 3 billion years old

>Petrified wood, is the name given to a special type of fossilized wood, the fossilized remains of terrestrial vegetation. Petrifaction is the result of a tree or tree-like plants having been replaced by stone - GOOGLE

We're enjoying Plettenberg Bay for a while and I was amazed at the unbelievable reflections in the pool.   This inspired me to write a blog for the Reflections contest held by my dear friend @olgavita 

The clouds reflecting in the swimming pool were looking so real - almost like a 3D image.  I've never seen anything like this before.

It almost looks like a mirrored image, awesome reflections. Plettenberg Bay is beautiful, haven't been there for years!
