Reflecting off the water
These shots were taken on the beach in Pringle Bay. It was right in the middle of the “golden hour”, where sun reflecting off the rocks and the rock pools gives such wonderful colours. The top picture reminds me of the fantasy novels that I used to readwhen I was younger. I bet a fire-breathing dragon lives just to the left of the shot :-)

2 CommentsCape Town from Pringle Bay
In a recent post I promised to show you a photo of Cape Town from the “other side” of False Bay. Well, here is a view of the False Bay coast of Cape Town, taken from Pringle Bay, looking a Simonstown on the left, heading past Muizenberg and towards Cape Town itself on the right.
Pringle Bay is a wonderful area, amazingly under-developed, with the most beautiful beach. We spend Saturday and Sunday there, and it was such a relaxing break, much needed to charge the batteries before the Christmas chaos about to come.

We took Eccles and Emily with us, and they both (literally) had a whale of a time.

This shot was taken from the beach along Baden Powell Drive, just about where it crosses Weltevreden Road. I like the way the clouds fall over the Hottentots-Holland mountains with Hanklip just escaping the clouds. It was a lovely (yet windy-again) morning, but the clouds brought very heavy rain with them.
This beach is a hidden gem, it is clear, smooth and very clean. A lovely spot to stop, relax and enjoy the solitude before continuing on my journey to work.
We will be at Pringle Bay tomorrow, which is just on the point of the mountain on the right, so look out for a similar shot from the otherside in the next few days.

Basilica di San Giorgio Maggiore
This beautiful Church is not St Mark’s Basilica, it is in fact the Basilica di San Giorgio Maggiore, directly opposite St Mark’s Basilica in Venice. Taken from St Mark’s Square.
It is a Benedictine church, dating back to 1566 (the site has had a church from approximately 900AD).
