People walking on the harbour wall at Kaly Bay Harbour

People walking along the harbour wall in Kaly Bay. In the front of them you can see the lights of the Harbour Hours/Ek & Jy restaurant complex. You can also just make out Fish Hoek beach on the top left.

I quite like the long shadows and the blured movement effect of the people.

I was actually going to the Harbour House for dinner, but I went there a little earlier with my camera, so I also managed to get this shot of one of the fishing boats. You can see Kalk Bay main road in the background, with Cape to Cuba (a great restaurant) just behind the harbour.

Dockyard cranes at sunset

I caught this shop driving onto the M5 on the new the Koeberg Interchange flyover. I was crawling rather than flying, so I had the opportunity to catch this shot.

These cranes are used to load and offload containers in the container terminal of Cape Town Harbour

These are the same cranes that I caught in this shot from the helicopter a few weeks ago.

Cranes in Cape Town Harbour

Cranes in the container terminal of Cape Town harbour. I love the toy-town feeling in the picture. However, these are real working cranes, and if you look closely you can see a few cars and trucks, giving a sense of perspective of the size of these cranes.
