Back in Cape Town after a great 30-something hours in Agulhas. And finishing our visit like this:
Obviously, a phone pic because…
But before that, a little lie-in, a super fast trail run (by my standards, at least), some relaxed chat in the sunshine, and a plethora of fluorescent tube replacements.
It’s been a good day.
And that’s my excuse for this.
I’m down in Agulhas: a quick trip to review some work, rather than any sort of pleasure or leisure, but I’ll never say no to the opportunity to spend some time here.
And I brought a few lenses, tripod, monopod, spare batteries and cleaning kit, and an array of SD cards. Because while this isn’t a photography trip, there will always be something to take photographs of.
Except…
I left my actual camera in my office at home.
To be fair, this was a bit of an unusual one: no kids, no dog, a full toolbox to bring down with us, a Saturday morning departure and even a different bedroom. So I was clearly thrown out of my usual routine.
But suddenly, as is always the way when you don’t have a camera to hand, everything is a photo. Remember this?
And it is a remarkably pretty day down here at the Southern Tip.
Sadly, you’ll just have to take my word for it.
Great news this week that Depeche Mode – now incredibly and sadly a duo – are about to release a new album and embark on a “major world tour“.
See?
And what does that “major world tour” entail? Seven concerts in the USA, three in Canada, and a few weeks in Europe next summer.
“World” is doing a lot of heavy lifting in this headline.
Indeed:
An absolutely incredible Skunk Anansie performance at Rocking The Daisies, which was topped off with their iconic lead singer doing some upright crowd surfing, and standing on my shoulders while (probably unironically*) giving Weak a bit of a blast:
Photos via my wife’s Nokia N95, if I remember correctly. Wow.
* I’d like to think so, at least.
