Pana-Doors
I took this image a while ago, while hunting for a school for my son to attend. If I remember correctly, this was one of the side entrances to a warehouse type door covering a school's hall. Very rustic, and I had to take a panoramic shot of it.

That Mountain
I've always wanted my own take on Table Mountain, as seen from Lion's Head. Took the path up that rock this past Saturday morning and snapped this from the plateau, roughly 630m above sea-level. No tripod, shot by hand. I think it came out okay.
I couldn't believe the awesome views you have from Lion's Head and decided I need a panorama view to try and capture one of the World new 7-Wonders. Here you can see the cold front still over Cape Town on the left, with Table Mountain in the centre with the 12-Apostles stretching behind it. Camps Bay can be seen on the right with the ocean drawing you in. I'm quite proud of this, thanks to the image stabiliser on camera lens (shot without tripod). Quite happy with how this turned out! Hope you like it too... [JohnMcKayZA]

Strawberry Picking
My wife and I always want to expose our children to fun things to do in and around Cape Town (and while we are on holiday). One idea that's always been circling our minds was to go and pick our own strawberries at Polkadraai Strawberry Farm, a quick drive from Kuils River towards Stellenbosch on the Stellenbosch Arterial (route M12 - Polkadraai Road). This was our funfilled Sunday afternoon. Hope you like it! John
