Dockyard cranes at sunset
I caught this shop driving onto the M5 on the new the Koeberg Interchange flyover. I was crawling rather than flying, so I had the opportunity to catch this shot. The cranes are used to load and offload containers in the container terminal of Cape Town Harbour.
These are the same cranes that I caught in this shot from the helicopter a few weeks ago.
Simons Town Harbour
Simonstown is a little village in Cape Town, It also has the honour of being home to the South African navy. Just look at the vista.
In the front, the naval dockyard, with the yacht basin on the left. The shop moored right in the middle is a retired cable-restoring vessel HMS Bullfrog, which is where I had my wedding reception!

Cranes in the container terminal of Cape Town harbour. I love the toy-town feeling in the picture. However, these are real working cranes, and if you look closely you can see a few cars and trucks, giving a sense of perspective of the size of these cranes.
This is truly the most beautiful city in the world.
Photos of Table Mountain
Here are a few photos of Table Mountain, the most beautiful mountain range in the world!

To take these shots I was strapped into the passenger seat of a helicopter, and my door was removed so that I could get clear shots, while it was a little scary it was a wonderful experience flying in such an open environment.
This is truly the most beautiful city in the world.
