Cape Town fire: Table Mountain up in smoke...
I spent much of yesterday afternoon watching Table Mountain disappear behind a curtain of thick smoke. The pictures below are taken from our flat's balcony in Tamboerskloof - the fourth is 10 minutes after the first - that's how quickly the fire was spreading. The flames were fanned by gale-force winds which aided its devastation and hampered dousing efforts.
Now my curiosity got the better of me and I walked up Kloof Nek Rd to see what photos I could get with my new Canon 350D. After that I joined a whole stack of people watching the choppers collect water from the reservoir in Gardens.
Does
anyone know a better way to add photos in blogger. It drives me mad... text is
all over the place and I can't seem to arrange the pics where I want them....
suggestions?
