Dropped down off the top of the Downs to walk under the ridge for a while. Not sure how this hill got its name...

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.

Taken in the Bo-Kaap - previously known as the Malay Quarter. The Bo-Kaap is an historical centre of Cape Malay culture in Cape Town, South Africa.
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.
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
B&O's Mineral City local soars over the roof tops of houses in Mineral City with loads of crude for a refinery in Pennsylvania. The oil was collected from loading racks at the end of the Huff Run branch which was a switchback from near the south end of the trestle. The 860 ft trestle crossed over Huff Run and the switchback then went 3 miles up the creek to reach the loading racks. Before oil was loaded, the branch was built to reach a coal mine, several brick yards and a sand/gravel operation. Oil gave new life to the branch and 3-4 times a week, the local would bring 10 loads back to Akron. A new loading rack was built in 1985 several miles to the north that allowed removing the trestle and the branch,. The W&LE bought the line from the B&O in the early 90's and continues to move oil from the new terminal between Mineral City and Sandyville. August 1974

The “line_up“ is a paperwork series I developed since 2010. The “liners” are made out of paper (Din A3/A4),
oil paint and graphite. The theme is the hermetical laws of polarity and movement. There is no ending and no beginning in any direction, just an endless movement. You have the possibility to arrange the papers like you want and that makes it an endless playground for my photo-work and the eyes of the viewers.
