Title: Modern Catholic Church in Lansdowne Road
Path: african.pictures / The Media Bank / Izak de Vries
Description: This beautiful modern Catholic Church is in Lansdowne Road, Cape Town. The mural says: Beyond 2000. It also proclaims: Christ Yesterday Today Forever. These mottos are captured by clever artwork explaining the continuation of their faith. I am always in awe when I see how people are willing to produce only their best for their religion.

Path: african.pictures / The Media Bank / Izak de Vries
Description: This is detail from the oldest synagogue in the Country. Today it forms part of the ultra-modern Jewish Museum and Holocaust Centre in the Company Gardens, Cape Town. It is a tangible memory of the roles Jews have played in South Africa. The dark wooden panels are magnificent. I am always in awe when I see how people are willing to produce only their best for their religion.

Path: african.pictures / Shuter & Shooter Publishers / Izak de Vries
Description: This is one of shrines in the Buddhist temple in Bronkhorstspruit. Note the infusion of light over the big Buddha, mirrored by hundreds of tiny little lights shining from the lamps of hundreds of little Buddhas covering the wall of the shrine. Buddhism is not so much a religion as a way of life, urging its followers to find enlightenment.

Title: The New Synagogue in Cape Town II
Path: african.pictures / Shuter & Shooter Publishers / Izak de Vries
Description: This is the one of the biggest synagogues in Cape Town. It stands proudly next to the Jewish Museum and Holocaust Centre in the Gardens. It is called the "New Synagogue" because it was built to replace the oldest synagogue in the country. This is a magnificent building with dark, ornate pews, but brilliant stained glass windows and touches of white marble, red velvet and gold leaf. It actually seems to glow warmth. It is a great place for Jews to practice their religion.

Title: Buddhist temple, Bronkhorstspruit VII
Path: african.pictures / The Media Bank / Izak de Vries
Description: This fascinating temple is in Bronkhorstspruit, a dorpie in the middle of the Gauteng mealie fields. While travelling on the N4 from Tshwane / Pretoria to Middelburg in the old Transvaal, graffiti often reminded us that we were driving through rightwing country. Suddenly this amazing structure appeared. We had to investigate and we had to get pictures. We were met by the friendly, helpful staff who gave us permission to roam and to record these pictures. Buddhism is not so much a religion as a way of life, but the temple and the religious symbols, coupled to a disciplined lifestyle, provide the setting for the members to meditate and to exist free from the trappings of the rat race. On the R25 the journey from the Johannesburg International Airport to the temple will take about half an hour. Money for the erection of the temple was supplied by the Peoples Republic of China.
