Riassunto

That Scriptum has made a book about South African is certainly not totally unexpected. South Africa is a second home for Karel Tomei and he spends around 2 to 3 months every year there. The trips that Karel made for this book in a two-man helicopter are nothing short of spectacular. They landed anywhere and everywhere to undertake maintenance and to fill up with fuel. The longest expedition lasted several weeks and clocked up 10,000 kilometres: it took them from Cape Town to the borders of Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Botswana. The country, which is as large as Western Europe, is divided into 9 provinces, and Over South Africa also reflects these provinces. Each with its own identity: broad, brown rivers, oblate mountain tops and prehistoric red sand formations are located next to endless green savannahs, large lakes and unspoilt sub-tropical wilderness. The landscape of South Africa is largely uncultivated and thus highly diverse. Karel Tomei (Rotterdam) has built up a name in recent years as artist. His aerial photography is unparalleled.

Su questo libro

Dalla quarta di copertina:

Dat Scriptum een luchtfotoboek maakt over Zuid-Afrika komt niet zomaar uit de lucht vallen. Zuid-Afrika is voor Karel Tomeï zijn tweede thuisland, waar hij ongeveer 2 à 3 maanden per jaar verblijft.
De tochten die Karel voor dit boek maakte, per tweepersoonsheli, zijn spectaculair te noemen. Overal en nergens werd geland om onderhoud te plegen en brandstof te tanken. De langste expeditie duurde enkele weken en telde 10.000 kilometer; van Kaapstad naar de randen van Mozambique, Zimbabwe en
Botswana.
Over South Africa is ingedeeld naar de 9 provincies die het land, net zo groot als West-Europa, telt. Ieder met een geheel eigen identiteit: brede bruine rivieren, afgeplatte bergtoppen en prehistorische rode zandformaties liggen naast oneindige groene savannen, grote meren en ongerepte subtropische
wildernis. Het landschap van Zuid-Afrika is grotendeels onontgonnen en dus zeer divers.
Karel Tomeï (Rotterdam) maakte de afgelopen jaren naam als kunstenaar. Zijn luchtfoto'’s zijn ongeëvenaard. Vanuit de lucht laat hij de kijker meegenieten van zijn bijzondere kijk op de wereld. Haarscherpe composities van de aarde waarop we leven en waar Tomeï als een vrije vogel boven hangt, gewapend met zijn camera'’s en scherpe blik.

Product Description:

South Africa is Karel Tomei's second homeland, a place where he lives two to three months a year. The trips that he made to make this book - in a two-seater helicopter, were spectacular. They landed wherever they wanted for maintenance and fueling. The longest expedition lasted several weeks and was 10,000-km trip from Cape Town to the edges of Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Botswana. South Africa is as big as Western Europe, and the book Over South Africa has been divided into the country's nine provinces. Each with its own unique identity: wide brown rivers, flattened mountain tops and prehistoric red sand formations, juxtaposed with endless green savannas, huge lakes and untouched subtropical wilderness. The countryside of South Africa is largely undeveloped and very diverse. Karel Tomei (Rotterdam) has been establishing himself as an artist these past years and his aerial photographs are unrivaled. From the skies, he allows you to enjoy his special view of the world. Razor-sharp compositions of the earth on which we live and over which Tomei flies, free as a bird, accompanied by his keen eye and his camera.
