Walk up Muizenberg Peak

A few Sundays ago we walked up Muizenberg Peak from Boyes Drive, above Lakeside. It is a short but stunning walk, offering 360 degree views of the Peninsula.

The weather was sunny-cloudy, with ever-changing light and lovely saturated colours. There was a sailing regatta on Zandvlei - from afar it looked like white confetti on the water.

After a short steep ascent, I looked back and found myself perfectly on axis with Main Rd. It runs like a straight stripe into the distance, connecting a string of southern suburbs, from Kenilworth to Lakeside.

From Muizenberg Peak, there is a layered view featuring water: Zandvlei in the foreground; Marina da Gama - a housing development built on the water in the 1970s; and the sewerage works in the far distance.

Looking south-west, with Noordhoek beach visible in the gap...

And looking south-east towards Simonstown...

The King Protea doing its regal thing in the fynbos.

Erica urna-viridis - a sticky green erica which is endemic to the Silvermine Mountains.

Beautiful views across False Bay, towards Hangklip.
And a last pic taken of the False Bay coast.

Sunday - Concert in the Park

t
On Sunday, 3rd April the City hosted its first concert in the Green Point Park. Stephen Granger attended the event with his photographer's eye and long lens. Judging by the pics, there were many people enjoying themselves, and the event was a great success.

Thanks Stephen for sharing your photos.
