Start of a glorious summer day
Beautiful evening in Cape Town
One of those unforgettable Cape Town sunrises.
Photo outing – Magic Forrest Dam
Close to where I live, Oude Westhoff, is a place called the Magic Forrest — you can see on the photo above. Yesterday I spend some time taking some photos around the dam.
Even the kids have their makeshift boat but looks like it is a bit stuck in the reeds 🙂
Water cascading down the dam-wall – looks like it is somewhere in cold Europe with the water being iced up.
More photos can be seen in my gallery here.
All these photographs were taken with my Canon Powershot SX10 in Auto mode. No post processing was done on them except reduced in size for displaying on this page. The original photographs are in my gallery.

Winter sunrise — cold but beautiful
I had to get up very early this morning, taking my daughter to Stellenbosch to go write her acceptance tests today for studying at University next year. On my way home, the sun was rising through the trees right in front of me. I stopped and took some photos.

Sunset Rainbow
Sometime nature can just be wonderful .. with the setting sun we got an amazing rainbow. This rainbow stretched from one side to the other but as a learning photographer with no wide-angle lens yet, I totally forgot to take a series of photos to stitch together for a panoramic. Hey this is the way one learns. Here are some of the photos.
I got this aeroplane flying in front, through :), behind the rainbow. It was a quick “mik” and shoot so it is a bit blurry but I got the plane.

Photoshoot — Durbanville area
Yesterday, when there was a break in the whether, I took a drive to an area just outside Durbanville to go take some photos. It was an overcast day which is perfect for photography. Here are some of my photos. I did no post processing on the photos. People familiar with the area will immediately recognise the area.
Love the contrast between the old and new.
With autumn, the colours in the vineyards are just amazing.
And found some wildlife just next to the road.

Dove on my stoep
A day or so ago this dove was sitting on the railing of my balcony.
It was there before but everytime I opened the door to take a photo it flew away. This time when I opened the door it just stayed there. I first thought there was something wrong with the dove but when I got real close to it, it flew off.
A day or so later, the same dove was visiting again and again it did not flew away when I opened the door. I walked around on the balcony and it just watched me. Think this dove is taking a liking in me.
More photos from my new best friend – yes I know it is a bird.
Sunset after rain and thunder
After the rain and thunder of yesterday, I knew that sunset must be something different. And I was not wrong. I took this photos looking east, opposite direction of the setting sun. I love the picture above with the different cloud colours .. the reddish part that pick up the reflection of the setting sun the then the white pieces that was hidden from the sun.
