Bo-Kaap

I had a meeting in Bo-Kaap today, an old suburb just on the outside of the city bowl. The lovely sunshine was perfect weather to shoot a few pictures and play with my new 10/22mm lens before my next meeting.

The whole neighbourhood is colourfully painted, and being a traditional Muslim area, they are lots of beautifully build Mosques to photograph.

    The buildings are so colourful; what a treat it must be to live there, surrounded by such a cheerful environment.

      Thanks Kate, it is a colourful section of the city, very pretty. although I am not sure I would like to park in those narrow streets.

    So colorful. Nice shot from this famous neighbourhood. I missed it, while I visited Cape Town.
    With the first look the mosque looks like a church. A unique mosque architecture.

      It does a bit, but can you see the Arabic writing above the door.
