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 !

A pre-view of the New Metropolitan Golf course in Cape Town 6/6/2009

I heard screeching brakes .....sirens blaring... a loudspeaker calling from afar

The next thing I knew, was police marching me off the golfcourse to their latest high tech prisoner van ...

Ok I had a nightmare ..this is what I feared... it didnt happen :) but I didn't linger too long to take these shots The whole golfcourse is now sealed off, even the former Metropolitan Golf Course is fenced off, you can only get in the parking lot now

The greyish mountain at the back is called Devils Peak then on the left of this photo you can see part of the City bowl district, the houses on the Hill are part of the suburb Upper Green Point The water in front is going to be part of the waterfeatures on the golfcourse

So here I was walking.....fast :) shooting left and right, seeing lots of water lots of birds, getting my shoes full of mud, my heart in my throat but it was worth it, the views are mind spinning !

After 5 days of heavy rain I woke up to a glorious blue sky and apparently it will be good for the next 5 days as well The new golf course has new drainage, which works a treat, only the very, very new grass sods (like a couple of days old )were a little spongy but there is still allot of ground which is just mud

On the left of this photo you see Signal Hill where I live, to the right is Lions Head and then the tall building is the infamous Ritz Hotel
At the top of Signal Hill you can just see some trees, thats where I often go to take the photos of the Green Point Common or Stadium like this

I have chosen about 12 photos from todays shoot which I will publish the coming days so don't go away, stay with me and uhh ..its allowed to say something :)
Congratulations to the Netherlands first Europeans to qualify for next years world cup
See you here next year !
