Fisherman at night, originally uploaded by Craig is shooting.

This fisherman was setting himself up for a cold night of fishing. He told me that he didn’t know what he was going to catch, because if he know it would be called catching, and not fishing.

He was using little sardines for bait, and while he agreed that they taste great, he also reminded me that a small sardine can be used to catch a large fish.

Some lessons to be learned from him!

Spring Flowers

I think that the spring flowers are a few weeks early, but they truly look wonderful. What looked like overgrown weeds suddenly turns into white carpets of spring flowers.

These flowers will be found throughout Cape Town and the West Coast for the next few weeks, after which they will disappear almost overnight.

Another spring flower

It amazes me that you can see such wonderful flowers about 4 metres from a busy road.

The side-effect is that most of Cape Town will have hay-fever for the next few weeks, oh well!

Spring Grass

Birds landing

Birds landing, originally uploaded by Craig is shooting.

There is a tiny lagoon on the beach, just opposite the landfill on Baden Powell drive which I often drive past. In the morning it is covered in Seagulls and small birds enjoying the shallow waters.

Today I stopped to take a pic of them, and I gaught this show of the two birds fighting (or possibly mating). I really don’t know Seagulls too well, but they constantly literally flying into each other and almost chasing each other away.

It was an interesting site, and I think it makes quite a nice photo.

Another shot of the accordion

Accordion bellows

An interesting shot of the bellows of a piano-accordion in action. I like the pattern that the horizontal supports form.
