 SA vs Colombia friendly game at Soccer City. This was before the game started, so the stadium was still filling up. It would eventually swell to a crowd of 75000 for this game, two weeks before the World Cup 2010 opening match at the same stadium.

Great shot. I really like the sense of movement and life that we're given by the color of the stands and the arms of the fans.

Cool shot. I grew up and spend the first 25 years of my life in and around Joburg. Used to live in Germiston back in the 60's 70's. I used to be a real dagga smoking Hillbrow joller over the week-ends. Things have changed somewhat.
