Its during sunset but the sun keeps hiding behind clouds here it just came out the sky is colouring red behind me over the Atlantic ocean and casts a dark glow on the stadium

This is what it looks like behind me on Siganl Hill and Lions Head is almost hidden by the clouds
The tall building is the Ritz hotel

Sanding and painting the new Green Point Stadium in Cape Town




I am a few days away from Cape Town and will not be able to show Stadium updates till Monday
but tomorrow I will show some shots from  Pezula Resort Hotel in Knysna where the French team will be staying in 2010





The shots are from a couple of days ago especially in the top image you can see the metal needs a lick of paint

Images of the dusty World Cup Green Point Stadium silver mesh facade


Click on images to see large
We are experiencing extremely strong gusts of wind at the moment to give you an idea of the dust I took this shot a few hours ago, you can clearly see the dust being kicked up, its one of the reasons the mesh facade got dirty so quickly, the other reasons is the heavy trucks racing up and down the dirt road near the stadium I can often not shoot because of all the dust in the air.












This shot is from a strip which had just been attached



Remember the 2 sheets hiding something ?
The space to the right of the sheet is where the other one was
They were doing the staircases
Click on image to see the amazing details even though I shot it all the way from my home
