Cape Town offers a truly unique experience with cosmopolitan CBD and wide variety of outlying areas that will appeal to everyone.
Within the CBD itself, you can enjoy taking a long hike or cable car ride up the famed Table Mountain, explore the Cape of Goodhope Castle, take a boat ride out to Robben Island, where the renowned ex-president Nelson Mandela was held prisoner, and enjoy the world-class V&A Waterfront.
The famous Cape Wine Route is a must where you will find some of the finest wine farms in the world in towns like Stellenbosch and Franschhoek.
These places have such a rich history too with interesting museums, history buildings, and plenty of world class restaurants and cafes to frequent.
I made this image with an Olympus OM 1 or 2 from the stern of my canoe during an archaeological survey of the Coppermine. My partner and I began our survey at the headwaters, Lac de Gras, where, years later, the big Kimberlite pipes were discovered and Canada's diamond industry began.
That was a difficult but wonderful trip, made somewhat odd because we were, by chance, following a royal canoe party (Prince Andrew, I believe) down the Coppermine, which made for some hilarious radio chatter between me, pretending to be an unctuous Conservative, and a certain famously irascible government geologist, camped on the lower Coppermine above the Arctic Circle, who was equally known for his marathon running, his taste for weed, and his hatred of all things royal :)
In the end, with the autumn gales beginning as they do in August in the Barren Lands, and our canoe carrying lots of scientifically precious prehistoric stone tools as a result of our survey, we accepted his generous offer to fly us out from that government geology camp and back to Yellowknife free of charge.
The following summer, in 1978, my Woodyard partner and I made an archaeological survey of the Rawalpindi River, which is a tributary of the Coppermine. Imagine my shock, at the trip's beginning, to see a grizzly bear running toward me in my camera's viewfinder when I turned around 180 degrees to take a picture of the river's headwaters outflow. But thank god I did turn precisely then! Oh man, that was a fire drill. We did everything wrong, were totally scared and stupid, but we survived intact (except for our minds) and later briefly radioed in to the geology expeditor that we'd had a scary bear encounter, been chased, but were OK, and were continuing the project as planned. It's a whole big hilarious story of its own, and so totally Northern.
But later, back in Yellowknife, my first-ever music gig was about to happen, backing up Ted Wesley, and he asked me who I was. I replied with my name, Frank Metcalf, amazed at this basic question from a friend. But what he wanted was my stage name. I laughed and joked and said duhhh I don't have or want a stage name. Then Ted said well it's obvious. I replied what's obvious? It was all sounding crazy. Ted said well you're Grizzly Frank. I said what the hell??? That was totally crazy. I ran from the damn bear, and was always dead honest about that. But he said everyone knows that's your name now. It was a classic WTF??? moment. Turns out the expeditor had kind of fleshed out a bunch of "details" to make the "story" much more gripping and less ridiculous than it really was.
Ted was hiring me for my first-ever gig, he wanted that name for me, so I said what the hell, OK. CBC / Radio Canada loved the "Grizzly Frank, Canada's Master of Bones" schtick and came calling repeatedly. I loved being onstage, and we were right then creating this pan-Arctic folk festival called Folk on the Rocks, which continues to this day (2022). I was on the first booking committee. It was the start of a whole huge long pile of fun, gigs, and travel for me personally, all over Canada and two festivals in Europe as well, and so I will always thank my dear departed friend Ted Wesley for his crazy idea. I guess I should thank the grizzly bear too, but that's harder :)

Discovered this in my driveway the other day.....a combination of ice, snow and footprints (i think) created this bit of Winter Artistry!
Wishing a Happy New Year to one & all!
I saw this American Kestrel hovering in place along a fence line. As I pulled over, it plunged into the dried grass and almost fully disappeared, coming out a few seconds later with his prize, and then fly across the road to briefly perch. One leg to stand on, one to hold onto dinner, like it's nothing.... and I struggle with my house keys and a bag of groceries.
In typical hollywood fashion, our heroine hides in fear of her life. Bravely looking in completely the wrong direction as the scary robot creeps up on her :)
...yesterday near sunrise, in the open field behind our house...
It was glorious yesterday morning, and Sandra Dee and I knew for sure that Spring was here! BUT this morning, it is cloudy and cold, and we don't feel it as much. :D
Another "fairy stone" discovered while walking through Mossneuk Wood in the Lochliboside Hills (location removed).
Discovered a very cute store while doing the fluffy/fierce hunt called "T'ink" which sells kawaii tatts and wanted to give it a shout out plus i thought it'd be a good place for a pic!

Yep! The Paris Metro is a great way to discover Paris! And did we ever!
Resource: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris
If and when you visit Paris is a good idea to learn how to use the metro (subway). With its 301 stations, the Paris Metro is one of the most extensive underground transportation systems in the world. The trains start about 5:30 a.m. and run until 1:15 a.m. (and around 2:00 a.m. on Friday/Saturday). Trains come every few minutes so you will rarely have to wait more than 5 minutes for the next train. The metro moves about 6.75 million riders each day but it is usually only crowded during rush hour. If you can, avoid Metro lines 1,4, and 13 during these times.
One of my wonderful flickr contacts made it possible for my team and I while speaking at a conference in Germany, to come and visit her and stay in her home! What fun we had! It even snowed while we were there, it was a winter wonderland for these Florida girls! She also took us to the fast train and we spent two days in Paris. We had the time of our lives!
"A friend loves at all times..." Proverbs 17:17 (and she does!) She is coming here this week with her husband from Germany to visit us and our team! We are so excited!
Hope you all have a great week!
In the future a new earth-like planet - named Ademis - is discovered. A group of people with different skills is sent to Ademis to live there and examine the pre-conditions for a larger colony to be established.
This is a health care module with a garden passage, examination area, treatment room and surgery room.
My previous MOC Part I is a habitat example module. My aim is to build further example modules to visualize the various functions of the colony.
Thumper never misses a new comer to the park as he looks in anticipation.
