Kaapstad: ou en nuut
Cape Town, old and new
The National Library, in the Company’s Garden.
Also in the Garden is the Tuynhuys (“Garden House”), the President’s Cape Town office.
The National Gallery. Some damned fools have put a rolling digital news ticker across the top of the entrance. Phillipe de Montebello would be disgusted…
The National Gallery & Company’s Garden as seen from Signal Hill (from which the Noon-day Gun is fired).
Children playing in front of the Delville Wood Monument. As you can observer from the monument’s backdrop, not all the architecture in Cape Town is handsome.
Die moederstad in all her glory.
Green Point Stadium, the main field for the 2010 World Cup. will be completed in about half-a-year’s time.
The stadium sits beside the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront.
The road to paradise. (Well, the road up Signal Hill, to be precise).
Signal Hill affords quite a view of the city below.
This avian couple certainly enjoyed the vista.
Table Mountain, presiding majestically over the moederstad.

Any plans to make it to one of the Afrikaner Volkstaat settlements like Orania?
So what is the temperature, and the quality of the air?
I was the University of Cape Town in the 1970’s and your photos make it seem as though the city hasn’t changed a bit. I know that is not true but the beauty of the place tugs at my heart. Sitting here in wintery Georgia I feel like the base Indian who threw away a pearl richer than half his tribe.
The sky – marvellous…..
Happy for you that you’ve moved to this lovely place, blessedly far from the New Criterion and the hapless Mr. Kimball. Cheers!
