The Kitesurfer and the Whale

David Sheridan decided to place a camera on his kite-surfing sail to get some special pictures of himself on the water from 25m above his head.
What he didn't bank on was getting this shot as he suddenly found himself on top of a Southern Right whale.
Admittedly the 10sec delay between pictures meant he has no photographic evidence of the tail swipe he received just after this one has taken, but this one is special enough.
This all happened off Valla Beach, on the north coast of New South Wales, Australia.

Experiencing Ye Olde Cape Town

Thanks to a Muti post I stumbled across a Etienne Du Plessis' Flickr photostream. There are some amazing photo's and scanned postcards portraying a Cape Town long past, for better or worse.

Below is a postcard of the Cape Town 'International' from 1966.

How about Muizenberg in 1964?
