Counting cranes

posted by Kerry-Anne
This reminds me of one of those kiddies' puzzles - how many cranes can you count in the picture? (I got to 17, but I could be wrong.)

These cranes are over at the construction site of Green Point Stadium, one of the stadiums that will host several soccer games during the 2010 World Cup. In the middle of February, city spokesperson Pieter Cronje apparently said that a third of the stadium is already complete, and that it's well on its way to being completed on schedule, by 15 December 2009.

I find the presence of the cranes on our skyline really inspiring - to me, they're a symbol of progress and growth.

If you're very, very observant, you might have noticed that the SA Blog Awards button to the right has changed a little. That's because we've been nominated! Yes indeed - we were thrilled to discover that we've received nominations in three categories: Best Photographic Blog, Best New Blog and Best Travel Blog. If you enjoy our blog, please click on the button to vote for us, and while you're there, have a look at some of the other nominated blogs and vote for those you fancy. What an awesome first birthday present for Cape Town Daily Photo!

Nice photograph. I like the cranes. A sign, some say, of progress.
