(And other things observed around Cape Town.)

On Claremont Main Road in Cape Town's southern suburbs

Time and distance from my early years in Cape Town haven't remade the city anew, but perhaps they have brought clarity and playful attentiveness to the ways in which I've been observing its urban fabric. As I walk or ride around the city, there is undulating curiosity, amusement, fascination. Sometimes even delight. It's a delight that often results from small, seemingly ordinary things – a recurring colour (so much yellow recently!) or the quiet grace of a typically overlooked tree.

Skinny La Minx sure knows how to brighten up a downtown pedestrian crossing.
