A HD photo of the helicopter that took me around my aerial trip of Cape Town. Highly recommended. The folks at Civair treated me like royalty. I highly recommend the trip of you get the opportunity.

Here are a few photos of Table Mountain, the most beautiful mountain range in the world!
Lions head on a misty morning, with Table Mountain on the right, Devil’s Peak at the back on the left.
Devil’s Peak on the right, with the Constantia mountains on the left.
The Cape Town City Bowl (downtown). On the right you can see the working harbour, In the background is the famous view of Table Mountain, and Lion’s Head on the right.
To take these shots I was strapped into the passenger seat of a helicopter, and my door was removed so that I could get clear shots, while it was a little scary it was a wonderful experience flying in such an open environment.
This is truly the most beautiful city in the world.
Love them or hate them, they have become the unofficial musical instrument of South Africa, and integral to the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Personally, I find them noisy and anti-social, but despite myself I love them!
Viva South Africa.
A Bafana Bafana fan supporting the team at the fanpark in Belville. Bafana Bafana drew with Mexico 1-1. I went to the fan Park yesterday to watch the festivities before the match, and the match itself. It was crowded and noisy, yet one of the most friendly and exciting environments that I have ever been in. It was like a massive group of friends getting together to party!
Here are a few more pictures.
This HDR shot is of Wynand Road (my road) in Lakeside, Cape Town just after some evening rain.
A few people have asked me how I took this pic, so here you are.
A few days ago, I posted a picture of a fishing boat being launched in the waves,. Today I saw them bringing the catch in, and here is the same boat sitting on the beach.
Today was not a very inspiring day, so here is a simple pic of our national flower, the protea.
With winter arriving, the sun is setting a little earlier each day. Today had been quite a cloudy and windy day, with bright blue sky intermingled with large winter clouds. While driving home from work, I noticed the most remarkable sunset over the mountains, and because I just happened to have my camera with me :-), I had to stop and take a few pictures.
This is a HDR shot taken from Muizenberg beach, looking over Constantia towards the bottom end of Table Mountain.
Zandvlei on a still autumn morning. A very peaceful place to take a walk.
Today was the Two Oceans Marathon, a 56m race around the Cape Peninsula. It has been running since 1970 (when there were only 26 entries), and now there are just under 11000 entries.
Now, while I am crazy enough to race around Cape Town on my bicycle, I am not crazy enough to run the marathon*. However, I was more than happy to take some photos.
Meditation
Happy to see you too
Keeping the stride
The Sangoma
* Update (2015) – yes I apparently am crazy enough to run around the peninsula
