I’ve had a busy day, and I’ve got no plans to do anything but chill out this evening.
Have a quota photo of a dead tree (I knew you’d be impressed):
This was taken at Theewaterskloof last week. I liked the juxtaposition of the two bright colours at the top and bottom, the mute stripe in the middle and that angular tree pushing through all three layers.
Bigger here, if you want.
Not much time to blog today, but for all the right reasons. We walked up to the old Sanatorium above Simonstown: 160m ascent in just 700m was quite a test, but on the plus side, there were great views and we didn’t get mugged.
It’s the small things.
This is one of the trestles for the old cableway that ran here in the first half of last century. Quite an amazing sight running right down to the harbour from the top here…
We went exploring in a new bit of the Green Belt today. I took a lot of photos, but I haven’t got time to look through them all right now.
So I picked one Quota Photo to share (hey, it’s been a while…). This are it:
Dewdrops on an tiny acacia tree catching the sun. Bigger here.
Lots more to come (isn’t there always?), but not right now.
I have several (or more) commitments of varying interest and excitement this afternoon and evening. It probably means that I won’t manage to get a blog post out, and thus I’m going to leave a quota photo here just so there is something to satisfy the needy hordes.
So here’s a miserable day at Slangkop in 2013, for no particular reason other than the one above.
Have a lovely evening.
Lovely day with the berg wind blowing today, so we walked the beagle early and then I used the opportunity to get a few jobs done (including bathing a reluctant canine) and watched a bit of the cricket.
A far cry from a few months ago up the mountain, where it was grey, cold and wet. Especially for these guys:
Such were the conditions up there that it was only the next morning we saw the sign saying that perhaps swimming “wasn’t allowed”.
So obviously, if you see any of these individuals in the street, please remind them that they were inadvertently very naughty up in the clouds and they really shouldn’t do it again.
