With my extra time off I decided to have a little fun.
I'm I picked up some water when I was at the store. A water line broke and we're on a boil water notice until further notice. Such fun..:)

Another cool Japanese psychedelic band I enjoyed seeing what feels like eons ago...the light for this band was only the projected colors from behind so I didn't get a ton of great photos but hopefully this one will do.

The Bo-Kaap is an area of Cape Town, South Africa formerly known as the Malay Quarter. It is a former township, situated on the slopes of Signal Hill above the city centre and is an historical centre of Cape Malay culture in Cape Town. Bo-Kaap is traditionally a multicultural area. The area is known for its brightly coloured homes and cobble stoned streets.
As I stood there waiting for the light to change I realized I was looking at a casual, not particularly impressive intersection and saw the immediate beauty it was carrying.
I knew it had so much inherent charm and detail that my brain just could not digest it all.
So I followed Garry Winogrand's adage "I photograph to find out what something will look like photographed", "but then it becomes something completely different on a two dimensional plane between four corners."
Situé entre le centre-ville du Cap et les contreforts de Signal Hill, Bo-Kaap doit son nom à l’expression afrikaans qui signifie “au-dessus du cap”. Aujourd’hui, il est connu comme l’un des endroits les plus instagrammables du pays, grâce à ses maisons aux couleurs pastel.
À l’époque de l’apartheid, Bo-Kaap était soumis au Group Areas Act de 1950, qui permettait au gouvernement de séparer la population en déclarant des quartiers séparés pour chaque race ou religion. Bo-Kaap a été désignée comme une zone réservée aux musulmans et les personnes d’autres religions ou ethnies ont été expulsées de force. En fait, Bo-Kaap était la seule zone du Cap dans laquelle les Malais du Cap étaient autorisés à vivre. Elle était unique en ce qu’elle était l’un des rares emplacements du centre-ville à être réservés aux non-blancs: la plupart des autres ethnies ont été transférées dans des township tels que Khayelitsha

Bo-Kaap owes its name to the Afrikaans expression meaning 'above the cape'. Today, it is known as one of the most Instagrammable places in the country, thanks to its pastel-coloured houses.
During the apartheid era, Bo-Kaap was subject to the Group Areas Act of 1950, which allowed the government to segregate the population by declaring separate areas for each race or religion. Bo-Kaap was designated as a Muslim-only area and people of other religions or ethnicities were forcibly evicted. In fact, Bo-Kaap was the only area in Cape Town where Cape Malays were allowed to live. It was unique in that it was one of the few inner-city locations reserved for non-whites: most other ethnicities were moved to townships such as Khayelitsha
