Construction of new foot bridge between old GP Stadium site and the Cape Town Stadium


This road is closed off now
So you can not drive around the stadium anymore

The Water club Granger Bay, Night Shoot of the WC 2010 Cape Town Stadium


Wow what a nice evening it was
 I cant begin  tell you how much I enjoy being there surrounded by the incredible beauty of my surroundings
and that includes the stadium ...

Read here about the Waterclub and for rent in the Waterclub
here Its not cheap....


 During a calm spell.... at times the wind was quite strong yet warm
It really was a gorgeous balmy evening



The lights on Table Mountain were on till 9 PM




Click images to see large
This was actually the first shot of the evening



If you like to rent a place in the Water Club
here are :



I was amazed to see so many cranes
 Its absolutely hectic on the Atlantic side of the stadium


Ok I did check this image carefully but couldnt see anybody in a compromising position unfortunately :)
I must say that half of the time I couldnt see what I was shooting, with some strong lights practically blinding me and the rest in deep darkness

Cruising on Tigresse past the 2010 WC Green Point Stadium in Cape Town, South Africa


The sea was beckoning me on this beautiful warm day, so once again I went for a sunset trip on my favourite cat the Tigresse. For R 200 + free champagne I got my hair tossed and slightly sloshed :) when they first took it for an exhilarating sail around Table Bay and then motored slowly along Green Point and Sea Point at my special request



As you can see the fourth strip of  PVC mesh was attached I dont know why there is a gap but maybe they could see trouble ahead

When the sun goes down the mesh becomes a colden colour
The middle strip was the first strip, it looks like it is a nightmare to sort that out


When you click on this image you can just see the Kramat, its a Muslim Shrine on the ridge of Signal Hill
