Flying Cape Town
I love flying in Cape Town, and here's a series of random shots to help explain why...
Overhead Hout Bay...  Southern Right whale and calf off Muizenberg Beach  Overtaken by R44 ZS-RKT along Muizenberg Beach  Colourful bathing huts from the last century at St James beach  Learjet flying ZU-EPZ in the sunset light  Cape Point from 4000ft (note the current line)  The Seli1 shipwreck off Blouberg beach is long beyond refloating as originally envisioned  Table Mountain as seen from Blouberg on a classic day  Cape Town's new stadium with Table Bay harbour in the background  A great white shark swims in the shallow water off Monwabisi Beach  Regards Jean

A couple more...
Table Mountain forms an impressive backdrop to the waterfront and city centre  The quaint beach houses at Smitswinkel Bay  Following the sandstone cliffs at Strandfontein  My shadow while doing a touch & go at Fisantekraal  Preparing the new tidal pool at the Strandfontein Pavillion  Muizenberg Corner looking towards Fish Hoek  Overhead Cape Point at 2000ft... not many dry landing options here  The Sentinel and Hout Bay seen from above Champman's Peak  Shark spotting along the Strandfontein Coast  PPC's cement factory at De Hoek near Piketberg  Regards Jean

And the last few...
Insanity... a lone paddle-skier 500m offshore at Monwabisi in the area with the probably the highest population density of great white sharks  Overhead Sandy Bay heading for the Twelve Apostles  Sol Kerner's new One & Only Hotel in the Victoria & Alfred Basin at the Waterfront  Learjet in ZU-EPZ overhead Gordon's Bay  Cape Town's Container Terminal, currently undergoing a R5.4mil upgrade  Atlantic Beach Golf Estate near Melkbos  Big Bay Point and Blouberg in the sunset light  Cape Town's White Elephant... the new soccer stadium built for the World Cup  Hout Bay harbour  Cape Point from a more unusual viewpoint  Regards Jean.

Lovely pics..I'm an ex Fish Hoek lad and I know every photo. I take it you picked your days very carefully to fly as I know that South Easter is ever prevalent and it doesn't much drop under 30 knots!
