New Cape Town Stadium Lit By Lightening


Its been incredibly hot in Cape Town
and for quite a while there was lightening above the sea
but not above the stadium I could see it move to the east though
and then suddenly Crack !
 Got ya !


Its pouring with rain here
what a spectacular show it was
and all for free !

I actually had a whole different set of images to post
but that will have to wait till tomorrow

There is a hole in my new Cape Town Stadium Dear Lisa !


So I checked the photos I took when they had ripped the facade


and they are replacing this one which was ripped (Sept 21 2009)
they patched it up but are obviously not happy with it


A peek inside the grass looks nice and green

If you are still looking to buy tickets for a match in this stadium
Try this:  website



Green grass of home


I was in Camps Bay today and the beaches are still packed


Its been very hot lately
The sprinklers seem to be going the whole day


Just showing you what I got ...today..



The other hole


My work station Cheers :)

Start of top truss construction on the Green Point Stadium

On June 11 the first truss on the upper side of the stadium was installed Eventually the PVC membrane will be attached to these trusses It hadn't registered with me that this was a truss too, initially I thought it was a contraption to do with the laser show :)

After a few stunningly beautiful and really hot days we are back to winter weather, grey, dreary and wet a very wet weekend but on Teusday it will be sunny again and
20°C expected on thursday

This colourful dredger caught my attention, it is called Prins Der Nederlanden and while I am typing this its coming back into harbour ..I wonder why
Here is a cool website with the ship movements in and out of the Port of Cape Town

Just learned that there is a virus on Skyscrapercity
Darn !

Sunset view of Capetown, South Africa

Click photos to enlarge
I always get excited when I see clouds it almost always means we get an awesome sunset Last night was not disappointing :) it was so mild what a lovely evening I saw many people dining outside

The tall building on the left is the Ritz hotel which is a 2 minutes drive from my home

Table Mountain and Lions Head

Although the Green Point Stadium is 55 meter high at its highest point, it looks very small here
