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

DailyPhotos > popular today > 11-12-09  Veterans Remembered

Each Veterans Day our small rural county (population 10,000 in the entire county) has a short Veterans Day celebration on the court house lawn.  The entire lawn is decorated with flags that belong to our past service men and women who have passed away.  It's the most beautiful that the square looks all year...  even more beautiful than Christmas.  The families allow the local Legion to display the flags, and they do it well.  My husband's grandfather's flag, and his great-grandfather's flag were displayed among the hundreds on the lawn today. 



A few years ago, our county raised money to build this memorial on the lawn.  It reads, "DEDICATED TO THOSE MEN AND WOMEN WHO SERVED IN THE ARMED FORCES FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND IN SPECIAL MEMORY OF THOSE WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES"  I thought that the reflection of the flag in the memorial was especially beautiful.

God Bless our Veterans
