We had quite a lot of rain on Saturda. which made the waterfalls on the mountain really full today. This is a 1.3 second exposure of one of the waterfalls on Boyes Drive, behind Kalk Bay.

Winter have arrived in full force in Cape Town. This shot was taken of the rain falling on my front veranda (or stoep as we call it in South Africa), I was trying to catch the raindrops bouncing against the paving.

Some fence poles reflecting in a puddle after a rainstorm in Cape Town. Not the most inspiring pic, but the quite after the storm feel gives me a peaceful and relaxed feeling.

The Langebaan lagoon in the late afternoon. The poles are actually there to separate the public boat launch area from the bathing areas of the beach.

Even though it is on the West Coast, the lagoon stills has very (we at least quite) warm water.

Day 115: Fishermen on Muizenberg Beach, originally uploaded by Craig is shooting.

Fishermen setting out for the day early in the morning. They will probably catch Snoek, and maybe a little Yellow Tail or Cape Salmon.

Muizenberg has always had a very active fishing community, and one of the benefits of living in the Southern part of Cape Town is having a good supply of fresh fish.

You can often see the line fishermen fishing on the beach, especially early in the morning and in the late afternoon. Sometimes you see the boats coming in, the smaller boats often landing on the beach, offloading their cargo directly onto the back of bakki’s to go off for resale.

Driving to work on Strandfontein beach at about 8:00am, I spotted these fishermen taking their small rowing boat out. The boat reminded me of a bygone era of fishing, the days before motors, marine radios and GPS. The sepia effect takes it back in time.

Somebody paddeling on Zandvlei early in the morning on a very still day. The
temperature ended up peaking at about 38 deg C (about 100 deg F).

On Sunday I posted a picture of a lovely summers day, and just two days later, we are having some rather unexpected rain in Cape Town. This Cape Honeysuckle in my garden seems to be enjoying the rain.

very wind-free morning, which is very unusual for this time of the year in
Cape Town.
