The lovely, yet way too small parliament building in Bratislava.

The upside down yet strangely lovely building in Bratislava. You (umm) can’t miss it if you’re in the area.

Cds 024 MuizenbergStation
Muizenberg Train Station. Today is one of those strange days where the weather is not quite sure what it is going to do.

One of the courtyards at Krakow Castle (Wawel Castle). This is almost the only photograph that I managed to take of the castle since they would not let me shoot anywhere inside the buildings (and my camera does not even have a flash!). While the castle was interesting, it felt like the last outpost of communism. Everything was regulated as to where you can go, when you can go, how long you could be there etc. It was not the most tourist-friendly experience that I have ever had.

Detail of the ceiling of St Nicholas Church in Prague. The Chrurch looks like nothing from outside, but it is astonishingly beautiful from the inside.

I took this shot of the farmhouse about 2 years ago in Stellenbosch, some lovely old buildings in the country. I never liked the original processing, so here is take 2.

Another shot from Sunday’s shooting; this one of Slanghoek Lighthouse in Noorthoek, Cape Town just as the sun was starting to set.

I found this lovely Italian villa in Langebaan of all places when out on a training run. One of the great things about running is that you see so much more of the world around you, so when I finished my run I grabben my camera and went straight out to take this shot.

I still find it a little strange seing such an Italin looking house in the middle of the west-coast fishing village of Langebaan.

Last night I went to the Red Hot Chili Peppers gig at Cape Town Stadium, and while I was not able to take my SLR with me (and my trusty fully charged point and shoot’s battery mysteriously died), I was still able to snap this panaroma off on my phone.

Not too bad for a phone.

I don’t much care for hospitals. But if I had to spend time in a hospital, this is one that I could consider; the Fundació Hospital de Puigcerdà in the Pyrenees. The original hospital dates back to 1190, and it is still an active hospital. Unfortunately the doctors would be speaking to you in Catalan, and not in English, but you will spend time in a wonderful old building.
