Day 51: Cape Town on fire

Day 51: Cape Town on fire, originally uploaded by Craig Strachan.

I was driving home, when I saw a huge fire in some open land. The fire
trucks were there, and although devastating to the grass, a great photo
opportunity.

Day 49: More chillis

Day 49: More chillis, originally uploaded by Craig Strachan.

With the wet spring and hot summer, my chilli plants have gone crazy. I have got literally hundreds of them on my trees at the moment. I doubt that I will manage to eat them all, but they do really look lovely.

Perhaps I should start to pickle some of them.

Day 38: Chillin’ out

Day 38: Chillin’ out, originally uploaded by Craig Strachan.

Fresh jalapeno chillis from my garden, taken with my new homemade lightbox. I don’t have the cord to separate my camera from the flash, so I used the regular flash and a light shining from one side.

Day 34: Strutting her stuff, originally uploaded by Craig Strachan.

A bird walking around the parking lot at work. I loved the way that she (or possibly he) seems to be taking such huge steps. It reminds me of a model on a ramp. I only had my little point and click with me, but it seemed to have come
out ok.

A grader at the petrol station. Even road machinery needs fuel from time to
time.

Day 29: Under Construction, originally uploaded by Craig Strachan.

Building under construction in Muizenberg. I like the way top of the crane
seems to poke into the clouds.

The canal leading out of Zandvlei, looking towards Muizenberg beach. Taken standing on the bridge above the sluice gates.

Day 26: Aids Kills

Day 26: Aids Kills, originally uploaded by Craig Strachan.

A colourfully painted wall spotted on the way to work, imparting the AIDS message to a local community in Cape Town. I quite like the red/yellow/blue primary colours in the picture.

Yes, I know that traditionally the primary colours are red/green/blue, buy RYB are also used by painters.

Day 25: Portrait with friends

Day 25: Portrait with friends, originally uploaded by Craig Strachan.

This is my first picture that actually has me in it (something that I was not really planning on doing). Anyway, this is a picture of me and some mates from a band that I used to play in many years ago. We met for a BBQ yesterday for the first time in about 10 years. From left to right (looking at the pic), Chris, Craig, Justin and Cristen.

What do you think of the "looking down" effect?
