A few shots of Cape Town and surrounds as we approach spring.



You would never guess that this region is facing one of the worst droughts in 50+ years!

Whale watching off the Cape coast. These magnificent Southern Right whales migrate from the Southern Ocean to around Cape Town to calf and raise their young for 6 months prior to returning to the Antarctic around September.
They often appear very close inshore, as close as around 30 metres off the coast and offer great photo opportunities.
