Green, up in Somerset West
There are so many place to do photography between Somerset West and Stellenbosch. This was taken up in Somerset West if you go up the road at the Lord Charles Hotel in Somerset West and you go under the bridge on the top. There is a mysterious road right next to these trees but I have not driven up...
Action time: Ship versus Bridge
Crystal Pools waterfall
Crystal Pools is about 15 km from Gordons Bay and about 15 Km from Coolbay. Crystal Pools is a long walk but you have to park at the bridge just opposite kogelbaai or kogelbay. Going there in the summer is another story. Its gets really hot and the walk to crystal pools is quite far. There are also baboons...
Bridge at Crystal Pools close to Gordons bay looking in the direction of Cape Town and Fishhoek
There are two paths to Crystal pools but just for a short way until they join. One is above the mountain and that one joins the other path then. This is the top of the bridge, the bridge I blogged about on the previews photo. Here you can see where the see meets the river. Also a bit of Cape Town and...
The Bridge between Coolbay and Gordons Bay
The bridge on the way to Crystal pools between Coolbay and Gordons bay. If you stand on the bridge you get to see how clear this water is. A great place to cool down and have a swim. You have to pay now to get in there because, I guess they want to reserve the nature. Might be for a good cause I dont...
Kleinmond Lagoon, bridge and beach landscape photograph
Kleinmond used to be a big holiday destination and it probably still is. With Accommodation right on the beach as you can see in this photo in the background, there used to be a camping site I dont know if it still is there. We used to camp there when it was still safe to camp in South Africa. Now days...
Waves coming over Strand beach wall. Across the hotel and other accommodation. Helderberg
Apparently this wall is no more. I have not driven past this point in a few days but here you can see the rising sea levels because of global warming I believe coming over the walls of Strand beach. The hotel and other accommodation is jsut across the road. I wonder what would happen in a few years if...

Entrance to Strand beach, helderberg
There used to be a little bridge here, well not exactly a bridge but a small, well wooden bridge. But lately people have been neglecting the Strand beach in Helderberg. Still make a nice photo. I tried to make it a bit more photographic but that did not work.
Bridge at coolbay viewed from the mountain.
Bridge to or from Crystal Pools
Have you ever been to Crystal Pools? Well if you go dont go in the middle of summer because its the hottest hardest walk I know of in Cape Town. Except for Table Mountain in Cape Town. This is the bridge where you come out from Crystal pools. Close to Coolbay.

So today I started designing my own theme.
I would like to have my own theme for Wordpress. I mean one that I can actually sell and share with friends. But the most frustrating thing is getting everything right. I am used to Drupal theme Designing. Drupal is easy. Wordpress is like trying to build a bridge over the great wall of China. There...
The bridge, close to coolbay.
I am not sure what this part is called. If it’s coolbay or of which part this is but its almost at coolbay So I will just call it close to coolbay. Brilliant place to swim and the water is usually so clear. Just donno about sharks though. Because it runs right into the sea and the water you see...
Where the heck is London bridge
Ok I might not be in the best mood to blog right now but I am just thinking when we went to London we were there for 1 and a half years but somehow we just could not find the London bridge. Is the London bridge still there? I have heard that they sold it to some Arab guy who wanted it. Great for him...
