It’s a different perspective from up here. It’s a place in Cape Town I really love. The border of the mountain meets the border of the city. The sounds of wildlife mix in with the mechanical noises below and somehow manage to harmonise. And this time of day is magical. The sea is calm today, there’s very little wind and the clarity I have been seeking this weekend seems to have finally settled in. It doesn’t take a lot to achieve- a change in your frame of mind seems equivalent to the manual focusing of the camera’s lens. Point and shoot - point yourself in the direction you want, and shoot. Capture the image of what you want. Burnt it into your retina. Tag it with all the relevant words, comments and phrases you’ll need to recall it at a moment’s notice, ready to align yourself to it again.

This expanse is mine. What I’m taking in now is what is in my reach to achieve. This is my city and this is where I’ve grown into the man I am today. Hard lessons, beautiful experiences, loving friends and chilling dark strangers. I’ve created it for me to experience and I would do it again. But I don’t won’t a repeat performance. I’m creating a new life moment by delicate moment.
