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.

So this is the closest I got to getting a … Continue reading Victoria and Alfred Hotel →

Now you see it…

I haven't taken much photos over the last couple of weeks so I've very much run out of new stuff to show. So as I always do when this happens I revert to my stock and look for pics that I've never shown. I've found some Cape Town pics that will keep me busy for … Continue reading Now you see it… →
