SUNDAY IN CAPE TOWN

ONE OF THE PAINTED ZEBRAS (OR IS IT A KWAGGA?) SEEN AROUND TOWN.

THE SCULPTURES FEATURED HERE ARE ALL ON THE PRESTWICH SLAVE MEMORIAL PRECINCT WHERE THERE IS ALSO A GREAT COFFEE SHOP CALLED 'TRUTH' - SIT OUT IN THE SUN AT A TABLE AND WATCH VISITORS AND CAPETONIANS ENJOY THESE ARTWORKS SOME OF WHICH ALSO FUNCTION AS SEATS

FULL-CYCLE TREE BY THE KOMMETJIE ENVIRONMENTAL ACTION GROUP.

THIS IS A FUN EXCITING SCULPTURE MADE UP ENTIRELY OF RECYCLED PLASTIC COMPONENTS

ANOTHER ZEBRA/KWAGGA IN THE COMPANY GARDENS

Desolate streets are the usual phenomenon in Cape Town city centre on a Sunday...however, due to the soccer world cup, the city is currently vibrant and visually exciting. A Sunday walk from Green Point to the National Gallery in the Company Gardens proved to be a delightful and enriching experience. Everything spotlessly clean and lots of metro police ambling around made for a sense of security and aesthetic pleasure. May it continue after the 11th July!
