Sunday 13 May 2007

We watched the sun set from a vantage point on a huge granite bolder in the suburb of Brackenfell. Even though we could not see the sun dip below the horizon, the colour the sky and light through the clouds was beautiful.

The hill that you see in the distance is known as Tygerberg Hill. We've, in the past, walked up the hill several times. From the top, the entire Cape Peninsula sprawls out before you - Table Bay visible on the one side and False Bay on the other. It was the favorite place of a good friend of ours who died tragically a few years ago - I think we'll remember Nicholas whenever we see this hill silhouetted by the setting sun.

I like this photo. The sun rays make it special, I think. Also it is a big contrast between the darks and lights. I think that makes it special.

Thanks for your visits.

I'm sure we are near those we miss when we watch a sunset.

The sun rays - yeah, that's exactly what Kerry-Anne said.

Kala - Nicholas was a firefighter at the local firestation he was part of a mountain recue team. Somebody more full of life I never knew. He was husband of one, father of two and a very close friend. He died in a motorbike accident - he wasn't being reckless, a lorry jumped a stop sign.
