High Class Facilities
by jnconradie

Kalahari Oasis, Mabalingwe Nature Reserve, South Africa

I do not concentrate on toilets as photographic subjects, normally.

However, jumping to the left... well... that is what I jump onto (or is it into?)

I have one such pic. From a 2006 visit to this stunning place in the middle of nowhere.

Thanks Nico. I can see the humor in things like that! Of course, I've traveled in parts of Mexico where such facilities would not be a fun tongue-in-cheek but the real thing! Once, on the way to a five star resort we had to...well, I won't go there! ;^) dtallakson

Thanks, Guys.

dtallakson, just so that you are not left with the impression that this is really serious: this location is inside a very classy private wildlife reserve in South Africa.

The "Kalahari Oasis" is a basically pub, built in the style of some old derelict buildings, including some props such as the toilets, bath/shower and so on. All very tongue-in-cheek... never envisaged for real usage by patrons, I can assure you. :-) The site has become somewhat of a tourist attraction in its own right.

Regards, Nico

I wondered what you would come up with considering Jim's topic! Good work and very funny! I really like the sepia version of this even better. That gallery of Oasis shots is quite wonderful, it must have been quite a thing to find out in the middle of nowhere. ~Sharon
