Leica M9 does Franschhoek storm...

On a cold Autumn day, a storm approaching over the mountains of Franschhoek.

Leica M9 does Table Mountain from the top...

One of the must do things in Cape Town is a visit to the top of Table Mountain via cable car. Although we have done this before, the last time was 9 years ago. All images made with the M9 & 35 mm Summilux asph.

The view of the City bowl from the start of the cable car ride up the mountain. A foggy morning. Seven images stitched together.

Passing another car on our way up. The inside of the cable car rotates, giving everyone aboard a 360 degrees view.

             Signal hill, with the Greenpoint stadium on the right and Robben Island on the horizon.

                                                    The Twelve Apostles as seen from above.

                            The cars at the bottom are minute, - almost a kilometer down.

                                                          Bringing more visitors to the top.

                      Camps Bay to the left. In the forefront you can do abseiling if brave enough.

Leica M9 does the colorful Muizenberg beach...

Muizenberg is a beach suburb of Cape Town and is situated on False Bay. It is considered as the birthplace of surfing in South Africa. But surfing was not on my mind with this visit. I wanted to make a few images of the colorful bathing suit change rooms situated at the tidal pool at the beach. All images made with the M9 & 35 mm Summilux ASPH.

                          What is nicer than walking around in the pools, looking for interesting things?

                I saw this guy, just as colorful as the structures on the beach, - maybe he is a chameleon?

                                       Some holiday goers brave the cold water in the tidal pool.

Leica M9 does smashing waves...

What is a holiday without a early morning walk next to the ocean? Time to find a nice spot and reflect. And of cause make some beautiful images. All made with the M9 and 35mm 'Lux

Leica M9 does Cape Point...

Located at the most South-Western tip of Africa lies Cape Point. All-tough we have visited this National Park many times before I have always wanted to climb down to a specific deserted beach. This time we decided to do it and was not disappointed.

Here is the beach. To give you an idea of the scale, - there are two people to the left playing in the waves.

                                                          The staircase down to the beach.

Some of the bird life we saw on the beach. We found the beach really deserted and beautiful. Lost of Blue Bottles in the water made it impossible to swim without getting stung.

              I made this from the rim, shooting in the direction of the highest point in the Park.

                                      Some little stakes of rocks visitors place on one of the cliffs.

                                             All images made with the M9, 35 mm 'Lux, ISO 160.

Leica M9 does Super Rugby...

We went to the Super Rugby game between the Cheetahs and the Highlanders this past weekend. This was how the M9 and the 50 mm Summilux + 35 mm Summilux behaved.

                                                              First a few spectators...

                                                   Now here is a proud Cheetah supporter...

                                                          Some on the top stands...

                                                  Some were more stressed than the players...

                    This was the stadium starting to fill-up... seven images stitched together.
                                       
                                                                 The game...

                                                 Line-out ball won by the Cheetah's

                                                                       Scrum time...

                                                                              Penalty.

At one stage the score was 33-33, the twins in front of us with the numbers on their backs and the score-board in the back ground.

                                                   One won by the Highlanders.

We sat on the halfway line and I took most images of the game with the 50 mm Summarit. All-tough I cropped the images, none of the files are under 8 mb.
