Photo of the House taken by neighbour Peter.

Hard not to keep photographing the ever new sunsets :)














Not too much zoom but one can get the idea of the level of the activity. The dolphins are endlessly fascinating.














On a calm and sunny day this can be so clear that the blue will dazzle you.

Serious flood damage in the area but not right close to us.

Near the bottom of the cliff/dune, there are some caves.

Apart from all the action in the sea, we also have some land creatures: two puffadders chasing each other.

Taken a while ago but we often see snakes - mostly puffadders. As long as you do not step on them they are not a problem.

A while before this blog was started, a huge fish was caught off the rocks below the cliff. 50 kg Cob. It was quite a job for the fishermen to haul it up the 95 meter !

Still winter - stingy little morning sun beginning to catch the waves from the shadows.

Clouds play their part

Strange things happen

From the little east balcony

Often big banks of mist come rolling in and can reach the house in about half an hour from where the mist is located now.

To the left of the big rock. Certain times of the year, big amounts of sand are deposited and we see "beach" where we usually see waves.

Sunsets are magic

Storm sea and light

Some sort of a navy ship (Corvette?) - was at that time very recent acquisition of the South African navy.

Forming up again into those V-formations

Large flocks of Cape Cormorants can be seen flying very low above the waves (about one meter above the water), in V-formations. At times they land on the water and first feed for a while before re-forming their V-formations and flying further on their route.

Late afternoon - east corner of the house

Looking back onto our beach from a walk on the cliff.

Humans flying by

We get some wild storms in winter

On the balcony - another sun set

View to the west

A part of the beach - right "under" our cliff

From my studio - to the east

More whales

Whale coming up quite near the rocks - between July and September we see Southern Right whales most days.

From the balcony :
dolphins - year round

From the dunes above looking down at the house - from where it is pretty steeply down 95 meters to the sea.

Notes from a Cliff

Notes from a cliff - living 95 meter above the sea with an ever changing scene.
