It is one of the finalists in the New7Wonders of Nature which will be announced on 11 November 2011. It needs your help to get there though. Vote for Table Mountain … Continue reading Vote for Table Mountain →

The Green Point Light

Whenever I visit Cape Town I like to head over to the Green Point Lighthouse for a short walk along the promenade. On this visit I wanted to go and get a picture of the lighthouse with a glimpse of Table Mountain in the background, but alas the mountain didn't offer even the slightest glimpse. The lighthouse … Continue reading The Green Point Light →

V&A Clock Tower

Probably my favorite building at the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town is the old Clock Tower. Situated on the far side from the main shopping centre area, the Victorian Gothic-style Clock Tower has always been an icon of the old docks and has become an important focal point in the Waterfront's recent developments. The building … Continue reading V&A Clock Tower →

Cape wreck

Lying just off the beach at Bloubergstrand in Cape Town for the last year or so is the wreck of the Turkish ship Seli 1. The Seli 1 apparently dropped anchor in Table Bay when the anchor broke off in large swells. The ship drifted towards shore and landed on a sandbank before being pushed … Continue reading Cape wreck →

V&A boats

My weekend in Cape Town was a bit of a dull and dreary one, so I didn't get to take too many bright pictures. Stopping by the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront, I wanted to get a couple of photos of the different boats in the harbour for a post. Not the best, but here they … Continue reading V&A boats →

Sandy Bay

Everybody in South Africa knows (or should know) the name Sandy Bay. It's probably the only public beach in the country where it's acceptable to let it all hang out. And with that I mean going nude (Like you didn't know what it means). So on my recent visit to Cape Town we were driving … Continue reading Sandy Bay →

How low can you go?

I was watching these guys perform at the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town the other day... ... and this guy actually went under a burning rod balanced on dumpy (500ml) Coca-Cola bottles

Milnerton Lighthouse

Situated on Table Bay to the north east of Table Mountain is the Milnerton Lighthouse. Built in 1960, the lighthouse is in the suburb of Milnerton on the way to Blouberg. Even though the location is well inside Table Bay, this small stretch of coastline has wrecked more ships than any other coastline in South … Continue reading Milnerton Lighthouse →

Cape Town Stadium

Looking at the new 55 000 seater Cape Town Stadium at Green Point from this angle it doesn't look so big...... but as one gets closer the enormity of the city's new stadium, purpose built for the 2010 FIFA World Cup at a cost of R4,4-billion – or approximately US$600-million, starts to dawn on you.The … Continue reading Cape Town Stadium →

12 Apostles

The Twelve Apostles is probably the second most photographed mountain around Cape Town after Table Mountain's table top. The Twelve Apostles is part of the Tabel Mountain range as it stretched down towards Cape Point. The area in the distance is Camps Bay, an affluent area with a beachfront fringed by palm trees and trendy … Continue reading 12 Apostles →
