Last night’s sunset was unexpectedly beautiful and deserves a quota photo blog post all of it own:

Thankfully, it’s back again today. In the words of The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy :

Several billion trillion tons of superhot exploding hydrogen nuclei rose slowly above the horizon and managed to look small, cold and slightly damp.

Today, Arniston; famed for having a cave so big, you can turn a wagon and horses around in it.
Given that its single entrance opens directly onto the sea, I’m mystified as to how they found that out in the first place.

Breakfast on the beach, lunch in the local pub and then supper watching the sun go down at the shipwreck.

Truth be told, I’ve seen much better sunsets, but I didn’t miss the opportunity to pop a few long exposure photos off afterwards.
Those will have to wait to be uploaded and shared until I have an internet service which doesn’t rely on rubbing two sticks together and praying to Kwan, Almighty Lord of Connectivity.
Or “tomorrow”, as I like to call it.

Right, let’s get this post published then. Now, where did I put those twigs…?

Parting shot

Given that IT’S THE MIDDLE OF BLOODY WINTER!!!!!1! here in Cape Town, we thought we’d take ourselves and the kids down to Camps Bay yesterday evening and enjoy some sundowners on the sand. A million (really? – Ed.) other people were also there, snapping away with their smartphones, because it was just that sort of beautiful evening which required instagramming, facebooking and twittering.

I refrained from doing any of those thing, but don’t think you’re going to get away without seeing some sunset action.

Here’s my last shot from my phone as we left the beach:

And there are several more on the camera just itching to be downloaded and shared, but the camera has gone to a crocodile farm with the wife and kids today. So you’ll just have to be patient.

Still. At least you’ve got a nice view while you’re waiting.

UPDATE: Here are those photos.
