Zandvlei

Father and Son

Published February 17, 2011

I love this shot; the father on the large windsurfer was surfing next to his son who was on on the smaller board. He was giving advice to his son from across the water. Judging on how the son was doing, he is not going to need advise for much longer. He is already far better that I ever was.

The strangest little boat ever

Published February 15, 2011

I saw this boat on Zandvlei at the weekend. It has a fiberglass hull, and you sit in front of the mast and steer with your feet (much as you would with a Kayak). That tiny little homemade sail was not at all effective, but I am sure that with a bigger sail it could be quite a fun experience.

I asked the person that helped to launch the boat, and he told me that the original mast had been stolen so this was a trial of a newhomemade sail. Perhaps a little more time in the workshop is in order…

Days 169: Sunset in Lakeside

Published July 1, 2010

Days 169: Sunset in Lakeside, originally uploaded by Craig is shooting.

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.
