Kommejtkie rockpool

A morning walk with M*t*n and P*tt* on the beach at Kommejtkie.   Walkers, surfers, dogs f*cking, families, loners, getting a mild dose of pre-breakfast exercise, on an uncharacteristically cold and grey strand. Later I went for a run on Noordhoek beach, 6km over. I had driven back, changed, and then started from the other end of what is a huge 8km long beach. Heading out I met many of the people I had seen earlier in Kommejtkie. They had ploughed on, and I wondered if they were puzzled how I had both overtaken them and mysteriously changed into running gear. They and I remained impassive, as we churned past each other though the sand and surf.

Above is today’s shot, taken in the morning on Kommejtkie beach. This time it is processsed in Photoshop touch for Adobe. The image uses three blended layers, really amazingly sophisticated for an Android app. Adobe, who make this code, are leading the way in mobile apps. Their best new stuff is on Apple. Shock news, I am going to have to buy an iPad. A report will follow soon, once the awful deed is done.

  • Morning, crashing sea

    Click to enlarge. I rose yesterday morning with no trace of the hangover that might have been expected given the excesses of the previous evening. The morning scales reading (net weight, pre-breakfast) was also unexpectedly low, but despite the lack of any immediate requirement to try to lose weight,  I resolved to run on the…

  • Morning, pristine

    Today’s picture. Taken at about 8:30am on Noordhoek beach before the arrival of many children.  There are a few things restricting my shots currently. The wind is very strong at the moment, but the skies are clear.    Sand blowing off the beach has a pretty abrasive effect on camera lenses, so its important to stay…

  • The Lonely Tuba player

    Today’s photo:The Lonely Tuba player. I was surprised to see a full marching band in Waterloo station recently, all dressed up in Ruritanian-style uniforms. Alone at the back was this single tuba player, and from my angle he looked completely isolated. The morose passengers nearby were also fairly unimpressed.  It would take a full-scale Martian…

  • River Pageant – finale video and Final Day flypast phots

    The best part of the Pageant was at the end, when the orchestra and singers turned up, and in the pelting rain, belted out ‘Rule Britannia’ and God save the Queen’.  I got a short clip of this, and although a bit wobbly, it really captures the moment I think.
