Newlands Cricket Stadium
I was presenting at a training session at one of the meeting rooms in Newlands Cricket Stadium today, and I just happened to have my camera with me :-)
Here are two photos.
Click on the photo to get some of the detail (but it is really big)
The first is a stitched perspective of the stadium, and the second of the main stand.
Day 178: Newlands Forest

Day 178: Newlands Forest, originally uploaded by Craig is shooting.
Newlands forest is still one of those special places. In about 5 minutes you can go from speeding down the highway, to walking along this quiet forest path on the side of Table Mountain. Truly a special place.

Looking at Cape Town through the trees of Newlands Forest. In the distance you can just make out the water of False Bay.

Just a small, bright and blue flower to brighten up any day.

A path in Newlands Forest. I am not quite sure why I took this pictures, but I kind of like it.

The canopy of some of the enormous trees in Newlands forest. It gives a real sense of vertigo looking up at the trees.
Newlands Stadium Lights
These are the lights at Newlands Cricket Stadium; there are a total of four sets of lights, which are used for the night games.
Cape Town Stadium, or Newlands Rugby?
Here are two photos; the first of Cape Town Stadium (which hosted the recent Germany/Argentina game), and Newlands Rugby Stadium, which has a history as far back as 1890. Look at the difference in the architecture, the round modern look, and the “70′s” square look.
Which do you prefer?
