Campanile view
The observation deck at the top of the Campanile allows one magnificent views towards all directions.

James Bond driving with the top down and a beautiful girl next to him.

Beach walkway
I popped down to the beachfront the other day and drove along the paved path (also known as Lovers Lane) in front of the Marine Hotel. I stopped at one of the walkways to the beach and got this shot back towards Hobie Beach.

Aloe silhouette
I took this pic on my whistle stop visit to the Gamtoos Valley recently. I couldn't resist sticking the sun behind the aloe and when I downloaded the pics I decided that I wanted to see it in sepia as well. I am quite impressed, even if I have to say so myself.
