Kalk Bay Cape Town / Simon's Town, Noordhoek Road Trip A road trip via Kalk Bay, Simon's Town, Scarborough, Kommetjie and Noordhoek, took us to Monkey Valley (Noordhoek) for the most unforgettable lunch and sunset. One of the many highlights of the day, with an artist friend was an impromptu visit to the informal Arts & Craft Market / Souvenir Shop at Boulders Beach, Simon's Town. On this crisp Cape Town morning we sampled the rich, creative and unbelievable colours of African art (with the generosity of their creators giving us oodles of discount to purchase their craftmanship - this is actually sad as there is the obvious lack of tourism due to the global Covid Pandemic).

Cape Town Coastal Location Hout Bay Harbour, Cape Town (a 20 kilometer drive from the Cape Town city center) Canon Full-Frame Wide-Angle Lens Experimentation on Crop Body Today was the first time I tried out the Canon EOS 70D and EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM Ultra-Wide Angle (Full Frame) lens. Usually the lens is paired with my Canon EOS 6D, but at the time of the walkabout the EOS 6D was paired with the Canon EF 24-70mm f/4 L IS USM lens.
