One of the many reservoir’s that are found along the edges of Table Mountain. This one is just on the edge of Newlands forest.

Lakeside from above. Zandvlei in the front,with the Muizenberg mountains in the distance.

From the bottom right, you can see a little of Muizenberg beach, and the exit of the vlei in to the sea. Towards the back, you can see Marina da Gama on the right, and Zandvlei (the lake) in the middle, with the little village of Zandvlei (where I live) on the left.

The Muizenberg villiage is bottom left.

Day171: Heading into sunrise, originally uploaded by Craig is shooting.

A great sunrise early in the morning, caught on the way to work.

I was playing around with long exposures and a tripod after sunset. This pic was taken of Zandvlei about 45 minutes after the sun went down, with a 25 second exposure.

You are looking from the Lakeside End, looking towards Marina da Gama.

Day 166: Seagull Landing, originally uploaded by Craig is shooting.

A seagull caught just as he was landing in shallow water in Zandvlei, Cape Town. It it such a wonderfully calm day today (especially after the howling wind yesterday). I was just walking around the vlei, enjoying the sun on my back, and taking a few shots of the birds.

Here are two more:

Seagull in flight; notice the reflection in the water.

And finally, another Seagull in flight. In the background is Park Island with Marina da Gama in the far background.
