Panamanian shipwreck in Blouberg
I can’t give too much information about this ship, but from what I can gather, it is a Panamanian coal ship, originally with 30000 tons of coal onboard which ran around in October 2009, and is still there.
It is literally a stones throw from the beach, and you can see the many kite-surfers in front of and around it.
Does anybody have any more information?

2 CommentsThe Cape of fire
You need three things to create a huge veld fire:
- lots of wind
- plenty of dry bush
- a hot summers day.
This explains why Cape Town has a huge fire problem in the summer months. Many of them are caused by the whims of nature, but believe it or not, many are deliberately started. Often by arsonists, and sometimes even by children wanting the entertainment of the helicopters and firetrucks.
This is not the first time that I have photographed a fire in Cape Town, but the first one this year. This shot was taken at the intersection of the R300 and N2; both major roads in Cape Town. The wall in front of the flames is about 7 feed tall, so I guess the flames are over 15 feet.
(yes this was taken through my car window with my happy-snappy, so sorry about the resolution)

I saw this girl grazing on the pavement in Clearmont. According to her caption, she is part of an organisation called World for all.
There is also a quote from Nelson Mandela which says
colour, race and gender become only a God-given gift to each one of us and not an…attribute that accords a special status to any
According to their website,
we should highlight South Africa’s contribution to a world beset by challenges. South Africa stands out as an example of doing what is counter-intuitive: forging unity out of apartheid, negotiating a settlement after years of violence, and reconciling those who have been perpetrators and victims of brutality.”
Anything that helps our world to move forward to a better place gets my vote.
