Taken on the same trip as the Riebeek Kasteel photos. They’re polar opposites: ugly and industrial vs beautiful and natural. I believe this is the Total refinery in Plattekloof.

I saw this view over the harbor as I was walking to town the other day. It’s times like that when I’m glad I try to carry my camera with me most of the time.

The cooling towers of the Athlone (coal) Power Station (featured previously) in Athlone, Cape Town stood from the early 1960s until a few minutes before noon today. The towers were seen by some as icons of Cape Town; they were, at the very least, distinctive landmarks along the N2. The demolition was quite a sight to see.

I went down to the waterfront for the sunrise this morning. Coming off too little sleep and with a stomach ache, I felt horrible the entire time but I was happy with how some of the photos came out. Will post more in the days to come.

More from my shoot at the container port a couple weeks ago (which I’ve also made previous trips to).

I uploaded a number of photos from the recent trip to my container port flickr photoset.

I spent some time yesterday in the Cape Town port area. I brought a tripod this time. I love how empty the roads are there. More photos to come.

A boat in dry dock at the Waterfront. It’s neat that the Waterfront is still a functional area. I like walking by the cranes and boats and things.

Seen during a cruise in the bay last weekend.

I spent about an hour the other night wandering around the container shipping port of Cape Town. I love the big industrial machinery and it’s quite close to downtown still.

I’ve added a few more images in a flickr set.
