OK, last post from our trip   I’m sure you’re glad to get to the end of them by now

We stayed with my aunt and uncle in Hermanus for the last night, and one of things we have to do in Hermanus is take a walk along the cliff paths.

On Tuesday morning we were also lucky enough to see a whale in the bay!! It’s a pity the 200mm on my lens wasn’t quite long enough to get a good shot. Yes, that small speck in the middle is the whale … LOL!

And that’s it… we flew home after that.  We really need to get to the Cape more often.  I love visiting the place.

I’ve put all these photos, and more from our trip into a set on Flickr too

Here are more of favourite photos from my Hermanus trip this week… yes, I took hundreds of photos!

No Entry

On Thursday evening (in Hermanus) we went walked to the lagoon along the beach.  It was so windy, but that was such a relief, because the sun had been a killer that day.  I had such fun using my widest angle lens that I have… OK… it is the kit lens, so these photos were taken at 18mm.  I could really have done with a 10-20mm lens this week! I absolutely LOVE how the wider angle lens enhances the blue-ness of the sky.

Windswept beach – I tried to capture the lines of sand being blown by the wind on the beach, but it hasn’t really come out.

I flew back from Hermanus in the Western Cape this afternoon (I went there for my Grandpa’s memorial service).  On the first evening, we went for a walk on the cliff paths, and my aunt pointed out these dragons heads in the rocks (she says they look like lions, but I think they’re dragons).  Aren’t they stunning?! I’d never noticed them before, and we’ve been there quite a few times… but I must say that you can only see them from a certain angle, and you have to go off the path to actually notice them.

I’ve got so many photos to share with you from the trip, and hopefully some of them will be good enough for the next camera club meet.
