A typical exemplar of Obie Oberholzer's people photography: the owner of Bergalleen Farm, Bennie van der Linda, holds his Australian cattle dog, Max, in a lapa on this farm near the small town of Marken in Northen Limpopo. There is also a Marken in Holland, that's why this photo features in Oberholzer's book, Going Dutch.
