Cape Town is liquid again. But for how long? The city ignoring clear warnings in 2011, migration of desperate people to the city will only increase with the climate crisis that simultaneously will make the city drier.

I’m still enjoying this custom jpeg profile I’ve made for my Fujifilm XE1. Still not missing shooting RAW.

Great times at the surprise party for my dear old mate @johnthevudio at Punjab restaurant. An eccentric fella with a heart of gold.

New hottest thing I’ve ever eaten. Not for n00bs. At a Korean market near you. 🌶 . Wiki tells me it’s 8,808 scoville heat units and is only surpassed by the limited mini edition as the hottest instant ramen on earth. .

Trying out new jpeg settings on my little Fujifilm XE1. Never used a digital camera I liked this much. Straight out of camera jpegs can be tweaked to look so great.

It’s the end of the line for these magnificent sea bugs.

A lobster boat cruises to a halt in Kalk Bay Harbour yesterday.

Yesterday was a good winter day to dry off and catch some sun.

But the sun did come through over the mudflats and marshlands of West Coast National Park. And then the grey grasses and plants came with the showiness of Avataar. It’s a beautiful and complex landscape brimming with life - at least until capitalism washes it all away.

Another day, another bird hide. Loads of flamingos, avocets, three-banded plovers, Kilitz’s plovers, whimbrels, greenshanks, African oystercatchers, even in the Southern winter.
