When I was at university I took an amazing photography course in an area of Johannesburg called
Newtown. I learned a lot. About photography, myself, Newtown and also the wonderful people I did the course with. So I only have admiration (and some jealousy!) for the Joburg Photowalkers - they get together every month and, as their website says, "explore Joburg through a lens, one photo walk at a time".
Beautiful photos (there's even some of Newtown! The first one is the old Park Station in Newtown, right behind the buildings where I developed my first film.)
You can like them on
facebook and see all their photos, or find out more on their
website. I encourage you to click on the images to see them larger, and each photo is titled, with the photographer's name.

Thanks for a wonderful blog post. The last photograph is mine taken when a few of us joined a similar group in Pretoria called the Pretoria Stadstapper Fotoklap Most of our communication is either from Facebook or the Google Group joburg-photowalkers@googlegroups.com Our official website is Joburg Photowalkers
