G is for Garden

Gardens are good for the soul. This is Kirstenbosch, Cape Town's gorgeous green garden on the slopes of Table Mountain. All plants in the garden are indigenous to South Africa. The garden is always filled with children having fun - laughing, tumbling on the grass and most importantly, learning to love nature and the great outdoors.
This is one of the rather grotesque statues by sculptor Dylan Lewis that are on temporary exhibition at the moment.

  1. I love the little kids playing around the sculpture. Little angels and a big angel.

  2. Oh, and no. The Polisiekar band wasn't there. :-) DJ Ossewa, Die Broers, Pieter Koen, Jay (of Eden), David Fourie, Sarah Theron, Manie Jackson and a couple others.

  3. Probably my favourite city. I lived in Somerset West for some years and a visit to Capetown was always exciting.

  8. The gardens aren't much to look at here yet. Still waiting for winter to let go of us! Your green sanctuary looks very inviting.
