Whales & Snow Capped Peaks
Jun 5th, 2009 by portofcall
Spring was a little delayed last September and we experienced some cold spells here in Cape Town. So cold that we had actually had some snow on the high mountain peaks. The view from our balconies across False Bay to the Hottentots Holland was spectacular!
In about the 3rd week of September, long after the whales had begun calving and temperatures were more often than not in the mid 20’s again, my daughter snapped these wonderful photo’s from one of our Simon’s Town beaches.

These lucky sailors came very close to this whale. She was frollicking in the bay for hours.

A little closer and you can see how big the whale is.
