Zoo lake (again)

I have posted this photo here before, in a brownish sepia tone; here it is in the original colours. It is one of my favourite photos and almost my only wallpaper since I captured this...

The first of the Summer lightning

Earlier this afternoon, a storm on the horizon grudgingly gave up this, my first photo of 2010 Summer lightning.

Beach of gold

Pebbles and the sea at sunset, on Bloubergstrand.

From a hundred ancient windows...

Shadows and Snow

Two gorgeous pictures of shadows on snow, (completely unedited, I might add)

This I took while on a brisk morning walk to Savages to restock. The day was bitingly cold and beautiful.

And this I took that same evening on the way to the dining hall:

When it gets that cold, the only thing that makes it worthwhile is the snow...

Water Towers

While running around New York, I noticed that many roofs were adorned with water towers - nowhere more so than in Chinatown. This was a backward glance at sunset as we left Chinatown NYC last June.

Sunset on Venice Beach

...as the winter sun set on Venice Beach and on 2008.

Sunset Silhouettes

A lucky shot out the car window on the way home...

Zoo Lake

Zoo Lake, calm and incandescent in the setting sun.
Considering the usual gaudiness and buzz of Zoo Lake, this eerily glorious and deserted scene was breathtaking.

Ripples. Reflections. Rays

Sunset on Key Largo, 27 May 2009

...reflections...

Reflections of the last day's light in the temporarily calm pools thrown up by the surf.
The Promenade, Cape Town, 8 September 2009
