Photo fuss

By 6000 | 6000 | November 9, 2009

A couple of my photos from the “Wet Weekend” set seem to have caused a bit of a stir, which is nice. I’m referring to Patio Splashes: and his singular brother, Patio Splash.

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.
