Not bad, Suiderstrand. Not bad.

An astonishing sunset
Down in Cape Agulhas for the long weekend, myself and one other would-be ‘togger legged it down to the beachfront as the most incredible sunset began to develop. Despite living the majority of my life in the UK, I have seen quite a few sunsets before, but I can’t recall one that topped this:
Bigger on black here.
No enhancement required – it was breathtaking.
Also good today: Brandfontein beach. Far from the madding crowd – far, actually, from everywhere – an amazing walk along the beach with the kids.We had the place to ourselves, which made it even more special.
Much fun, many photos. All popped into the now bulging June Things Flickr album/set. Go and see.
One Last Shot
I’m heading out of Sheffield this afternoon, leaving the Steel City for the Groot Trek back home to Cape Town.
It’s been a good visit, and my last evening here was capped off by this sunset. Which was nice.
[Big on black here]
The length of the summer days here is something I’d forgotten, but it’s basically light from 3:45am until almost 11pm. Returning home from the pub the other night, there was still light in the sky at midnight. I think I arrive back in Cape Town late afternoon tomorrow, and I’ll probably only get about an hour’s daylight before the winter night sets in.
Still, I bet South Africa will still be a bit warmer than South Yorkshire…
#nofilter
No filter, no nothing. Just wow.
I popped outside to see the progress of the fire on the mountain above Muizenberg (spoiler: the fire is winning right now) and was rewarded with a superb Cape Town sunset.
I’ve said many times that this place does all the hard work for you when you are looking to take a decent photograph.
I think this point-and-shoot just underlines my correctness. Once again.
(P.S. One more on Flickr here.)
Decent start
A lazy morning on the beach, a light lunch (“I’m going to do tuna rolls; all I need to buy is tuna and rolls”), some late afternoon braai action and then this sunset:
Of course, it’s a marathon, not a sprint: 2015 won’t all be like this, but at least it’s done its best to make a decent start.
I’m thankful for its efforts in that regard.
