there was an image here but now it's gone
since my many photobanks have just one free image per week from millions they have (and some don't have any), I decided to have my own image of the week, and first one can be found here, distributed under creative common license

Job's tears
bought in Cape Town, those were described on the tag simple as "teething beads". I got curious what they were, and found that the "real" name is nice, too - Job's Tears (Coix lacryma-jobi) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Job%27s_Tears
the shop where we bought those is amazing and if you are into beads at all and find yourslef (suddenly, I am sure) in Cape town, don't miss it. Prepare a lot of money :)
and if you do click through to the shop - don't forget to click on the Jeep on the main page. bling-bling car

diggers
Hout Bay beach. By the time Timur finished digging, his lips were purple, bordering on blue. It was very sunny and sun was strong, but water was cold. We saw a seal swimming inside the herbour

the only gap
when we went up the Table Mountain on the 2nd of January, "tablecloth", the cloud that often covers the top of it, was "on" - apparently uncharacteristically for this time of year (summer).
there were practically no gaps in clouds when we were going up (we could see Cape Town when we started walking, but soon entered the tablecloth). There was one gap in the clouds when we were at the top, and everybody started taking pictures - of, as you can see, some generic bit of ocean with two white boats on it

Acrophobic entry
"I'm not afraid of heights, I'm afraid of depths. I'm not afraid of going up, I'm afraid of coming down"
dunno who said it but they are absolutely right

llandudno beach
I love those stones.

flowering crassula
unfortunately, on the day we went to the Cape of Good Hope it was gloomy and even rained. But there was a lot to be seen and photographed
