Series: The Cape of all things

HAND HELD

The following from www.fifa.com, edited by me to update and shorten:

Cape Town has built a new stadium for the 2010 FIFA World Cup™. The stadium is in the suburb of Green Point, about 5 minutes from the city centre and nestled beneath Signal Hill and Table Mountain. Fans will be a stone's throw from the ocean and the mountains of Cape Town will be the backdrop for matches. The location is ideal as it is a short walk from the transportation hub of the city. 

Upon completion, the stadium will have a gross seating capacity of 70,000 and it is scheduled for completion by 2009.

The 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa has offered the city the opportunity to build a multi-purpose international stadium that will be used for a variety of events after the tournament has left Cape Town's shores.

I captured this while my wife & I were out for a walk.  I loved the reflections on the water and the serenity of feeling this shot gave me.  I really liked the feel of this shot.  We were on one of the overlooks on the lake taking this shot.
I am on the road for the next 2 day so I will be late getting comments till I return.  I hope to catch some when I get to the office today, but tomorrow we leave at 4AM so I expect it will be late Friday when I catchup with folks. 

Have a great day, hope you are not getting soaked like we are.  Not looking forward to my 3 hr road trip

No, I didn't take this shot -- but it's one of my favorite veteran.  My dear hubby is in the second row, fourth from the right.  (November 11, 2009)

This is what a mom, well this mom, does while her children run around the playground equipment at Lake Wheeler Park. 

I took the same shot last year:

And, here's another shot from this year with the leaf flipped the other, right, way.

I'll probably try again next year too.  It's close to how I envision, but not quite.  

I noticed yesterday when looking at my list of most popular photos that some of you wonderful people have gone into my older galleries and left me comments:-)  I was just delighted.  Thank you...  2007 was the year of the sunset here.  Haven't seen anything like that since.  Last year was a good leaf year.  I'm wondering if maybe this year could be a good snow year?  Hope so!

Still quite blustery here from Ida.

This was shot from my hotel room the night before a very early flight back to Texas. A vacation trip to Italy was interrupted by the need to be at one of those "very important" business meetings.

Thanks for all the comments on my "Post Card" series.  I will get caught up on commenting starting Saturday.  I am getting some wonderful shots here in Galveston.  And now really understand what the great people of Galveston have gone through and endured since Hurricane Ike.
