Chapman’s Peak during the Argus Cycle Tour. This most be one of the most beautiful roads to cycle on. If you look carefully, you can see the road covered in little ants, which are in fact the cyclists.
You can view the entire set here.

A full moon reflecting off the sea early in the morning. The picture was
taken with my iPhone while out training for the Argus Cycle Tour. I can’t
take my SLR on my bicycle, so the phone had to do:-)

A reminder of the awfully discriminating past of South Africa, this bench,
along with its counterpart "Whites Only" now resides outside the Cape Town
High Court as a reminder of the past. Thank goodness that is behind us, I
sincerely hope that it is never repeated.

Vegetable farm workers in Philippi. With the exception of the tractor, these farmers still follow a very manual, labour-intensive method of farming. It is not through choice, but rather through the simple fact that in South Africa that labour is cheap, but equipment is very expensive, making it almost impossible for the small farmers like this to modernise their operations.

This is an old Huey helicopter , used mainly in the Vietnam war. This
particular one is now used for tourist chopper flights over Cape Town. I
caught it in action flying over my house.
You can book a flight here if you are interested.

Muizenberg beach on an almost windless day. I love the gentle spray on the waves.

The feather of an Egyptian Goose, found while walking my dogs after some
light rain. I love the way the drops of water magnify the grain of the
feather.

Another photo of the fire, this time with the firemen putting it out. When you feel the heat, you start to realise how brave they really are.
