More fabulous bronzes, Cape Town


Part of a series of bronze friezes on the side of a building in Cape Town, SA. I have no idea from whence they date or who created them (or even which building they grace), but I liked the African imagery. It struck me as odd in a city that generally tries to keep Africa at a distance in favor of ersatz Britannia.

Penguins, Cape Town


The Stony Point Penguin Colony, full of happy, wild penguins...and a few Rock Hyrax, as well.

Atop Table Mountain, Cape Town, SA


Gee, that fog looks familiar...funny how all coastal cities are susceptible to it, even in summer. But it's rather atmospheric from above, and it makes Table Mountain even more spectacular.

Out my hotel window: Cape Town, SA


When only a view of Table Mountain will do: One&Only Resort, 4th floor.
