I don’t know the name of this, but there’s a lot of it around near our new place. Sure looks good against the blue skies first thing in the morning.

Lovely light on the way up to coffee in Obz this morning. Winter in Cape Town is not the non-stop downpour many imagine.

This character had a lot to say to me in a growly little old lady voice on my lunch run.

This picture doesn’t convey just how weird these clouds were. We were sitting out on Monday night at a little after 8, long after dark, and these thick, ectoplasmic clouds were looming overhead. Like nothing I’ve seen before (note that the blurry effect was not from a long exposure - it actually looked like that). We’ll need to raise Mme Blavatsky in a séance to find out what was disturbing the ether…

More Obz Victoriana on the new street.

Anbaric Towers. Taken from the one end of my new street looking down towards the river.

Devil’s Peak presiding over a beautiful city rife with blood and misery. Frankly the Devil has never been for blood and misery in this world. So it’s more an aspirational symbol for the city than anything else.

Painters in Obz on my lunch acquiring expedition.

@withoutaleaf wins today’s Trinket pic competition. The weather’s changing and the cats are becoming sun-seekers. (btw, if you want to see pics I don’t post here, check out our @krakatoa_band account).

@kanecroudace’s magic hat of illumination also doubles as a little portrait ring-light. The perfect headwear for the instagram age.
