Cranes in the container terminal of Cape Town harbour. I love the toy-town feeling in the picture. However, these are real working cranes, and if you look closely you can see a few cars and trucks, giving a sense of perspective of the size of these cranes.

This is truly the most beautiful city in the world.

    That is exactly what I thought (remember meccano). It also looks a littke like a model harbour, but they are real cranes used for the container ships:-)

    We had a great time in Rome, but alas are back at work.
