I live right by the beach front, so whenever I am able to I like to finish my day with a walk on the promenade just before sunset. The Sea Point Promenade stretches for a couple of kilometers, I don’t walk all the way from Sea Point to the V&A Waterfront which is possible, but generally from the bottom of my road to the Mouille Point Lighthouse and back.
Winter is fast approaching and a lot of our days a grey and glooming, but Monday was a glorious sunny winter’s day in Cape Town. I was walking alone (I often walk with some friends) and decided to take some pictures to show just how beautiful Cape Town can be in winter too. We all know Cape Town is amazing in summer!
As you can see from the puddles caused by the waves crashing on the promenade it was a wet weekend before.
It was still a little early so there weren’t too many people exercising just yet. This was at about 445pm. My destination the lighthouse is in the background.
Turning around and looking at the view of Lions Head. There were a couple of games of soccer happening on the grass.
A view of Cape Town’s 2010 Soccer Stadium. What an impressive stadium. It has changed the skyline when looking back at Cape Town from the harbour.
This is a photo with Robben Island and a yacht. Unfortunately my cellphone camera lens is not strong enough to shoot what I was looking at, still a great photo!
The sun setting as I’m walking back. As mentioned it is winter so the sun sets a lot earlier than in summer. This was just before 6pm.
And now… it is a miserable gray day! Running and wet – I am a summer person, so waiting for summer to arrive in a few months…
