Pre frontal system clouds gathering over the mother city on Friday afternoon shrouding Table Mountain as winter sets in on South Africa.

IMO the most beautiful aircraft gracing the worlds skies at the moment has to be Airbus A350. Seen here in Singapore colors on finals into Cape Town International Airport. #AircraftPictures #PHotography

In a pensive mood. Sadly we need to find a new home for her. She's the friendliest and most loving lap cat around. We've had her for about ten years and she grew up with us.

One of the oldest structures in Cape Town is the Clock Tower in what is now known as the Waterfront. It was built in 1882 and used to be the office of the port captain. The B&W picture was shot in "monochrome" and not "converted" #Photography www.cape-town-heritage.co.za/heritage-sit...

7th street Melville. The real life setting on which the Afrikaans TV series 7nd Laan was based. There is NOTHING that vaguely resembles life in the series. Melville is characterized by homes that have high walls built on the pavements and electric fences. I found it odd to say the least.

Lets try this again. I'll change the wording slightly. I view this symbolically as the state of our nation. Plundered and ripped apart by those who saw fit to plunder and destroy. This once beautiful vibrant city of Joburg with its landmark tall towers. "They came, They saw, They conquered"

I decided to take some pictures during a respite in yesterday afternoons/evening's #JosyThunderStorm. Not the most technically challenging pictures. Depth of field and bright colors. Have yourselves a bright and colorful day people. I'm going home soon. #Photography

Bikers on bikes of all shapes and sizes took to the streets of Cape Town on Sunday past to do the annual toy, an age old tradition where these good people collect toys for underprivileged kids in the city.

Three hundred years of history lays embedded in what is known as the BO Kaap. Gentrification has gradually seeped into this colorful predominantly Muslim enclave on the slopes of Lions Head where amidst the din of the city below one will hear the Adhan

The Keisie Valley is one of the most beautiful places I have yet encountered on by brief travels. It lies at the foot of the Burgers Pass or the Koo Pass on the R318 that eventually ends in Montagu. A rich fertile valley filled with vineyards and vast olive plantations for a far as the eye can see.

The Jetty in Strand A remnant of South Africa's sordid Apartheid history. A time when this beach was reserved for "Whites Only" and where my father was told we could not set foot on the soft white sand. Mother nature has over the years taken care of the legacy. #Photography #History.

District Six. An area that once thrived with immense color and life on the slopes of Table Mountain. Today is a barren landscape that will never be what it was "back in the day". Those that once lived here, forcibly removed to the sprawling Cape Flats. Today, a gangsters paradise. #Photography

For those that know the False Bay coast will know that this time of the year it gets hammered by the South Easterly wind. Macassar Beach was once a haven for communities from the area. It has been allowed to "decay" over the years These are the "remains" of the lifesaver "huts". #Photography

"Cape Town City Hall is a large Edwardian building, built in 1905, and located in Cape Town's city centre. It is located on the Grand Parade, to the west of the Castle, and is built from honey-coloured oolitic limestone, imported from Bath in England". With my picture taken in 2022

Finished it. Brilliant read. #CarynDollie is an incredible story teller. The level of detail is mind blowing. The final pages are inspiring. "The power to drive change is ours". We can NOT remain silent in the face of injustice. Crime affects us all. A must read IMO.

There are days when the best remedy for boredom is to create. So you step outside with camera in hand and you forget to change the settings. Not sure if it's visible to the naked eye, but this flower has a soul. Oh, and color.

Good morning #SkyPoeple. I am a huge fan of Simon Sinek and others like him. I constantly "Ask The Why" to learn more about myself and others. Anyway. Have yourselves a wonderful Friday.

I am a purist photographer. An old school dude that learnt the craft on film cameras. It's about pushing the limits of skill and endless learning. A time exposure enabled me to create the ghost effect against a static background.
