Capetonians On Picnic

This scene, eternalised on black and white film, dates back to 1965. I praise the unknown photographer.

It is entitled :

" On an early summer day in December, white South Africans picnic and converse in a grove of large fir trees in a Cape Town suburb."

Living proof that the culture of gathering around your cars, braaing, talking and drinking, equipped to the teeth with useful and unnecessary gadgets, has transcended all groups and races in South Africa. Not much different than Gugulethu or Bucaneers. Ok a little smaller ! And today the gentlemen don't wear ties to this occasion. But the hats remain part of the scenery.

If you do it, do it in style.

Adderley Street In The Olden Days

Here is another nostalgic treat for the ones who have known Cape Town a couple of decades back.

Adderley Street decorated for the Holiday Season, meaning Christmas.

No Children Allowed

One and the same thing can be a great blessing and a real curse.

If you are amongst those who have been so lucky to have found something in life to be passionate about and indulge in it to the fullest...

it can get a little out of hand sometimes

I actually think that's a good thing

Indulgence is good

These magical moments were memorized with the help of my camera a while ago in Muizenberg, close to Cape Town, when I visited a Kite festival with a friend.

The weather god was pleased this day and did his best and told the wind to blow with gale force.

The mountains watched human passion and observed the festival in silence, as always !
