Green Point, Three Anchor Bay and the Cape Town Stadium

Three Anchor Bay

Spot the Stadium !

Green Point

Entrance of the Radisson Blu Hotel on the left

(there is a car leaving )

I have started to make an "about me " page as requested by some

It's a hazy afternoon A far pink cloud hangs over the hill, unfolding like a rose

If you hold my hand and sit real still

you can hear the pitch grass, as it grows...

Its no joke though :(

Everyday of this past week I have been wanting to go out for a shoot to a place I have in mind

and  each afternoon that darn sea mist creeps in

and makes it all look grey and lifeless :(

Grass on the Urban Park in Green Point and the Stadium at night

The started laying grass yesterday and I saw sprinklers going for the first time

Up till now they watered the trees by hand

The Castle Cape Town Tens party is in full swing tonight

World Cup Soccer 2010 Green Point Stadium wrapped in mesh liner sheets

Well I must say it gets more interesting by the day ...now there are 2 white sheets hanging in the front as well as 5 long strips of the PTFE mesh membrane on the left

I drove to the Hamiltons Rugby club to have a closer look but it started raining, so no shots from there...well the first 3 strips they put up already look tatty and dirty, the 2 newer strips look lighter and cleaner, then the 2 half sheets in the front .. they remind me of bed sheets, I dont understand why they are so much lighter then the rest ?

2010 World Cup Cape Town Stadium and Table Mountain

It was incredible bad weaher today and right now Cape Town is lashed by storm force winds and horizontal rain

View from the (soon) renovated Metropolitan Golf club to the new 2010 Cape Town Stadium and Table Mountain

I wonder if they copied the Falaj system ?

To me this is not the prettiest side of the stadium My view of the Cape Town Stadium shows the most beautiful side or am I biased ?

Look here and here see for yourself

Where the world will meet in 2010: The new Cape Town Stadium

Early evening Sept 2 , the so called blue hour ...which I find so difficult to capture with my Canon S5 IS which is well known for the "noise" when shooting in low light
Posting this one for no other reason then that I like it :)
The above shot was this evening 23.00 PM Sept 2

and this was night of Sept 1
Spot the difference...

"Cape Town Stadium" might be the name for this new stadium after all lets face it, the real and only "Green Point Stadium" is just a ruin at its feet
