Snake Eating a Snail
In Kirstenbosch the other day, we saw a snake eating a snail.
We also video-ed the action.
The new moon sets behind Lions Head as hikers descend from the top after watching the sunset.
During that photographic session I saw a green deep sky object. I am still battling to identify it and figure out why it is green. The red circle on the right is a hiker, the red circle on theleft is Venus, but what is the green object?
There are some interesting and different doorways around Cape Town and I am going to post pictures as I collect them. The page is here.
But here are some to start with
There is some great art on the walls of Cape Town. Here are some I found today. As I find more I will add them. More murals here.
This one is a cheat. I actually saw it in Riviersonderend.
I went for a walk this morning and found pictures of some really interesting architecture.
There a more pictures here.
Art Deco really moves me. I love it.
But Cape Town is not limited to just Art Deco. What would you call this? Faux Victorian?
Dunno but it is fun

Lights on Lion’s Head
Lions Head has become a popular place to watch the sunset. Every night we watch people descending the peak after dark, their head light visible as bright dots in the darkness. To give some time frame the picture here were taken over a period of about 30 minutes, another time indicator is that you can see a star setting over Lions Head.
The composite track looked like this:
We visited Cape Point Nature reserve and got a bit suntanned, a couple of new birds and as usual some really great images,
Buffelsbaai. I had a swim trying out the new action camera, but was warned out of the water by the surfers. Said they had seem some sharks and fairly close in. This is Dylan braving the shark infested seas…
More surfing pics here.
Its a shark, really. How do I know? It moved faster than the surrounding kelp. Seriously, they were not very big and didn’t seem to take much notice of humans in the water.
Platbos on the Atlantic Side was so very beautiful.
Of course a polarising filter helps.
Dissent in the family. Juvenile birds always give trouble.
Smitswinkel Bay
Erica – they seem to like the disturbed edges of the roads.
