Weekend Postscripts



The MAP* around the corner from Hout Bay, and heading towards Llandudno. I've actually paddleskied and hiked this piece. At the right time of year, the waves around Lion's Head also become massive 20 footers at The Dungeons. Big Wave surfers come here and do the Pipeline thing, except that the water is chilly and there's the threat of Great Whites (a small seal colony is situated nearby).

*Marine Protected Area



A building sized advertisement for Windhoek Lager. Notice, even the curtains are co-ordinated with the adjacent wall-paint. Korea could learn a lesson from this - often their outdoor advertising is terrible. This actually makes for interesting and color sights in the city



Worship at the altar of shopping...we are consumers and are job is to consume. It's a vulgar approach to life (and to people), and the above picture represents the excesses of our vulgar existence. This picture was taken at Canal Walk, a massive mall complex near Cape Town.

Meanwhile have a good weekend - don't think I'll post anything till Monday (unless something spectacular happens in tomorrow's race).
Bearing the above image in mind: try to buy only what you need, and less of the things you want. It ends up just becoming clutter that you never use, anyway.
