I went up to the top of Table Mountain with some international ballerinas to get some cool shots of them while they were in Cape Town.

If you take a walk to the quarry behind the High Cape estate in Vredehoek, you will find a few interesting drawings.

I attended a wedding at Vrede En Lust in Franshoek last week and this is one of my favourite photos from the trip.

This wall of vintage photo frames is at the entrance of the tasting room at main estate.

It’s a beautiful wine farm, you should definitely make your way there.

I attended a wedding at Vrede En Lust, which is a beautiful wine farm in Franshoek this weekend and was blown away by the venue and the scenery.

The two days there felt like a long holiday and will definitely go back.

On the weekend I joined a group of friends to climb Lions Head, which I hadn’t done for about a year and a half.

It’s such a quick an easy hike and only minutes away from Cape Town’s CBD.

I recently came across some vantage points for taking photos of the new Cape Town Stadium and these came out quite nicely.

Last Friday was an experience of a lifetime and a definite tick on my list of 100 things to do before I die. Cape Town Tourism sponsored a bloggers day out to give some of Cape Town’s bloggers a time out from their PC’s, Google, Twitter and all that.

We experienced a professionally organised race day from Fantastic Racing, who let us race in the Reynard single seater race car, which can pull off speeds of 240 km/h with ease. These cars are just like the real deal and are a joy to ride!

Everyone who participated had a great time and left on an adrenaline high, big smiles and a need for more speed.

The safety briefing

Before we could jump into the race cars, we had to watch a presentation to learn about the cars, how to take the corners and more importantly… how not to crash and explode.

Our Reynard Race Cars

These were our cars for the day – they Reynard single seater, which was pretty quick of the mark and handled like a dream.

Me getting ready to haul ass

I had never been in a car this fast or this awesome… hitting the accelerator released a growl that made you feel like Cole Trickle.

That's me racing

You could easiliy hit speeds of 200 km/h on the straights and when you hit 6th gear your helmet started getting sucked off your face, which added to the adrenaline rush!

This is a shot of the race track with Table Mountain in the background… couldn’t have had better weather!

Last night Capetonians were treated to a spectacular display when all 360 floodlights for the Cape Town Stadium in Greenpoint were switched on.

They’re still testing the lights, so if there’s a bit of glare from a beam of light that’s directed straight into your bedroom, don’t worry – they’re sorting it out.

Summer, fashionably late in Cape Town this year, let everybody know that it had arrived with an epic weekend of good weather, that wasn’t disturbed by clouds, wind or the cold that left with winter.

I was recently given two tickets by the Table Mountain Cableway and there was no better weekend to use them. The last time I went up Table Mountain was when I was still playing with G.I. Jo’s… actually that would make it last month. Anyway, I was about five and until yesterday, had a very vague memory of the view from up top. It was the perfect time for a refresher in what Cape Town looks like from up high.

Seriously, pack a lunch, take someone cool and enjoy what must be the best lunch spot in Cape Town.

We recently ran a competition at Cape Town Tourism for the best Winter Photo.

The Cape Town. Live it. Love it. Winter Flickr Competition, which ran from May to August, required people to submit photos taken in winter in the greater Cape Town area.

Congratulations to Keith Lyle, the winner of the Cape Town. Live it. Love it. Winter Flickr Competition!

Guest judges, Paul Bruins, Greg Beadle and Joy-Anne Goodenough, selected the finalists and then the public voted for their favourite winter photo.

Keith receives an iPod Nano for his amazing photograph of a wave hitting the Kalk Bay lighthouse.
