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.
We had quite a lot of rain on Saturda. which made the waterfalls on the mountain really full today. This is a 1.3 second exposure of one of the waterfalls on Boyes Drive, behind Kalk Bay.

HDR shot of Fishing boats lined up in Kalk Bay Harbour. The boats usually go out at night, so they are having a well-earned rest.
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.
Marina da Gama
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.
Winter have arrived in full force in Cape Town. This shot was taken of the rain falling on my front veranda (or stoep as we call it in South Africa), I was trying to catch the raindrops bouncing against the paving.
The Langebaan lagoon in the late afternoon. The poles are actually there to separate the public boat launch area from the bathing areas of the beach.
Even though it is on the West Coast, the lagoon stills has very (we at least quite) warm water.

Zandvlei on a still autumn morning. A very peaceful place to take a walk.
