Painted view

I have limited access to wifi and am getting more frustrated, as our loadshedding has increased now to eleven and a half hours daily!

For those interested, this is an example of stage six atm! It could also get worse!

Todays power outage e.g.
04.00-6.30
12.00-16.30
20.00-00.30

I do apologize if I cannot comment as regularly as before but will do my best. I try to do some on my cell, which is much more time consuming and expensive ;-)

Oh, that must be vey difficult for you. Here, we take electricity so much for granted. Of course we should never do that. This is a lovely image!

[Valerie Chesney]

Beautiful! It must be so hard with these restrictions.

[Beryl Lloyd]

Ooh ! I do empathise with you , Life must be so disrupted , by what we take for granted ! What a lovely landscape , from the cool waters reflecting the land and mountains ! fav

[Joan Robillard]

Sorry for your problems this must be frustrating to deal with.

Beautiful landscape and edited in painting look. Loadshedding for 11.5 hours a day is quite long. Hope it will end soon.

[Casablanca]

Oh that is really crazy! Can you manage to maintain fridges and freezers like that? Hope it improves soon.
Lovely painterly image

[Babs]

Hope the loadshedding doesn't go on for too long. Do you have a generator for essentials like fridges and freezers?

[Mags]

Beautifully done. Looks like it would take more power to do it that way - everyone trying to do what needs to be done in a short time - like laundry, cooking, etc.

FAV I love how this one turned out!

Don’t worry about commenting on mine. I cannot imagine trying to live like that and work my life around such a schedule. I feel it would consume my entire day just worrying about it.

[Merrelyn]

11.5 hours a day is a long time to be without power. It's a wonder that the system isn't totally overloaded by people trying to get everything done when they do have power.

[Esther Rosenberg]

Beautiful landscape an edit. Oh wow, that is a rough go, what do people do for work? I could not imagine managing everything in such a short time.

[Pam]

That is insane! It will give you more time to go out, and take amazing photos like this one! ;)

[~*~ Jo ~*~]

Lovely image fv!

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

Nice reflections and a colourful capture.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Beautiful scenic shot.

[Allison Maltese]

Grrr. I can imagine how frustrating that can be not only for getting online but for daily living. You have my sympathy. This landscape was perfectly suited to your painterly editing.

[gloria jones]

Wonderful layers, composition

[Renee Salamon]

Lovely shot - very sad to hear what you are experiencing

[Carole Sandford]

Beautiful!

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Beautiful

[Bill]

Gorgeous.

[Heather]

What a gorgeous shot and effect! Fav! (So sorry for your problems, Diana. Just do what you can- please don't worry- 365 should be fun, not a stress, and it sounds like you have enough stress right now as it is. Take care)

[LManning (Laura)]

Love this edit.
It must be very challenging to navigate these restrictions on an ongoing basis. I wish you well!

[amyK]

This is gorgeous. How frustrating it must be to deal with the power situation. My sympathies!

[Rick]

Awesome capture and edit. That would really be frustrating. Hopefully, it won't last too long.

[Diana]

@casablanca @onewing We do not have any generator and just had to buy a new fridge/freezer. The generators available are very expensive, and just used for powering lights, tv and pc etc. We might have to consider getting a larger industrial type if this continues :-(

[Diana]

@grammyn @365projectorgheatherb You are too kind, what I don't manage here, I do at the gym as they are on a different grid ;-)

@marlboromaam @merrelyn Every area is on a different grid, so they all have different set times ;-)

@ludwigsdiana clever girl!
