Muizenberg at night

After the previous two action photos, here is something to mellow down a little with.  This was a long exposure (30 second) shot taken on the rocks of Muzienberg beach just after sunset. No, there is no HDR processing involved. This is just how it came out.

Here is another shot from the same shoot – enjoy!

On the beach

Even though the traffic is very light for this time of year, Muizenberg beach is still very busy.

Horse riding on the beach

Share

I drive past the beach every day to and from work, and today for the first time, I saw this group of horse-riders on the beach. I don’t know of any stables nearby, and I have never seen it before.

It really is a bit of a mystery to me, but I would love to go riding on Muizenberg beach. Can anybody enlighten me?

St James Beach

Here is one more shot of St James Beach on a lovely Saturday morning, before the awful weather this week. At least Summer is starting to make appearances. This section is a little rocky, but still a lovely spot where you can stop for a few minutes to watch and listen to the waves.

By the way, I took with my Canon S95 point and shoot, which I am loving. Small, light and easy to take with you. A perfect companion while my 50D is in hospital.

St James Beach

After the aweful weather we have had this weekend, it is lovely to be able to soak up some sun, and to go for a walk along the Muizenberg/St James beach. The sun is warm, the sky is clear, and it is simply an amazing day! The colourful beach huts in St James are still there, and they are still open to the public as changing rooms, (unlike Brighton where you can pay up to 20000 Pounds for the privilege).

While this particular beach is quite rocky, there is a lovely tidal pool you can swim in, and it was surprisingly empty today. I remember as a student coming down here for biology trips and having to walk among the rocks to find little beach animals and plants.

The walk from Muizenberg to the tidal pool is not far, probably about 1.5 km or so, but very pretty, and there are lots of people so it should be quite safe as well. And if you don’t feel like the walk, you can park on the side of Main Road and cross through one of the subways onto the beach.
