Voortrekker Monument ..... and me :-)

Me and The Monument .. The Monument and me ... same colour !! Have you noticed ?

The Voortrekker Monument is a monument situated in the city of Pretoria, South Africa.
The massive granite structure, built to honour the Voortrekkers (Pioneers)
who left the Cape Colony in the thousands between 1835 and 1854, was designed
by the architect Gerard Moerdijk who had the ideal to design a "monument that
would stand a thousand years to describe the history and the meaning of the
Great Trek to its descendants". It can be seen from almost any location in
the city, as it is seated on top of a hill.
