LekkeSlaap is proud to be regular co-hosts of #discoverOverberg, a monthly Twitter chat that highlights the tourism opportunities of the Overberg region in South Africa. Yesterday we talked Photography, and #discoverOverberg was soon trending with tips and pictures streaming in from photographers, bloggers, travel fundis, tourism operators, accommodations, local residents, and basically anyone who was keen on sharing their love for the Overberg.
Here are 30 of our favourite photographs from #discoverOverberg:
