Just another Stadium pic

Since I was passing the Cape Town Stadium and - for once on this rather gloomy Cape Town day - it wasn’t raining, I decided to snap a couple of pictures to track the progress on this architectural masterpiece, which doesn’t look anything like a Polo mint.

Although all the tower cranes have now come down, there’s evidently still some work being done on the roof, mainly by a solitary guy in an orange hi-vis jacket with a large Johnson.

Now that might not look all that impressive, but when you step back (or rather zoom out) and see the bigger picture:

Well, rather him than me.

    That guy is working on the facade. Roof is pretty much complete.

    I was watching the ant people up there too today. Except of course they’re smaller from where I am.

    Did you get the toy working?

    Looks like he has a safety harness on, has the Sa building industry gone soft?

    Goblin > Apparently, they’re actually real people, but FAR AWAY. Weird.

    Stan > FIFA doesn’t like bad publicity. Which is odd, since it creates most of its own.
