SA Express flight landing; they serve the smaller regional routes

Aeroplanes taking off and landing remind me of my love to travel, and although I was in Italy just a few months ago, yesterday mane me feel itchy. I was assisting with a training session in Parow, and the venue was right above the flight path of the aeroplanes landing at Cape Town International Airport.

This was an opportunity for taking some shots of the landing planes.

Mango, yes we do have an airline called Mango. They are a no frills low budget carrier.

I haven’t taken an HDR shot in ages (since I was in Italy in Oct last year), and the recent debates on digital photo school have raised my interest in it. So when I saw this car in Kalk Bay, it was the perfect opportunity.

A few days ago we celebrated Lois’ birthday at the Royal Cape Yacht Club in Cape Town. The Yacht Club, which is over 100 years ago, is home to some of the most expensive yachts in South Africa. It is also the starting point of the Cape to Rio yacht race, which is in January next year. The race covers a distance of 3320 miles, races from Cape Town to Rio de Janerio every three years or so.

It is a wonderful venue to spend an evening; both the food and drinks are served at regular club prices, which is far less than most restaurants.

This picture was taken from the marina during a moment of solitude at the party.

There is a rather quaint fishing museum in Brighton, on the beach just below the pier.

This pic is of one of the old fishing boats. You can see the pier in the distance, and notice the jet trail cutting the sky across the middle.

Here is another boat, parked just outside the entrance to the museum.

By the way, if I knew a little more about areoplanes I would tell you what these pics are all of, but alas I don’t!

Perhaps you can leave a comment and tell me?

What do you think? I think it came out pretty well.
