An evening drive by our new Cape Town Stadium has become quite popular


Two of my blogposts featured on ZIMBIO an interactive magazine which has 20 Million readers a Month.
Jeez if so many people look at my posts I better watch what I write and check my spelling more often :)
 See them  Here and Here

Btw about the above photo :
 This is the original straight from the camera un-edited :




Click images to see large
At first glance you might think I did not get the horizon right here but I have a tripod with a spirit level
and I checked the image its level The stadium podium is tilted
I assume the reason has to do with  it having been build on hard rock


I came home at 7 pm and had no images for my blog
which is not that unusual..but I am never worried since they always somehow materialise :)
just as they did tonight

while I was eating dinner outside on the terrace at sunset
I saw the lights come on in the stadium and I never know 
 how many and which lights will be switched on
and then...OMG the "Ring of fire" was switched on too !
I hastily finished dinner and jumped in my car :)
Yes :( I admit ...sadly I have become a true stadium anorak
yet if you see me, you would never guess lol !
BTW as I write this and look outside ..
there is such a heavy fog outside, I cant see past the terrace

Main Entrance Fritz Sonnenberg road
The ring of fire was on for about an hour
I got some shots
will post them tomorrow though

New Green Point Stadium on a sunny sunday afternoon .


The Beauty and the Beast



The backside or North side, which I cant see from my house.



They have called it a pot, a bowl, a hat ...and of course don't forget ...a white elephant....well I agree from this side.....hmmm.....pretty it is not ...



The wind was blasting me here, it was 19.00 PM and the sun was going down, a cold evening by the time I came home I was frozen to the bone


North West side of the stadium
