Boulders Beach, South African Pictures

One of the best beaches on the Cape Peninsula, Boulders Beach, is located a few kilometres to the south of Simon’s Town. Here small, secluded coves with white sandy beaches and calm, safe, warm, shallow waters are interspersed between huge rounded boulders of Cape granite that form low cliffs and small caves. There has been a colony of African penguins at Boulders Beach since 1985. There is no record of the birds having lived here prior to that date, so their decision to settle in an area already well-utilized by humans is remarkable. There are only three penguin populations on the mainland in southern Africa. (The others are on islands).

Swaarmoed Pass, Ceres, South Africa

From Wikipedia:
Ceres is a town in the Western Cape Province of South Africa. It was named after the Roman goddess Ceres and has around 40,000 inhabitants. The name is fitting, as the valley in which the town is situated is extremely fertile and is a major producer of South Africa’s deciduous fruit. It is the administrative centre of the Witzenberg Local Municipality. It is situated in the Warmbokkeveld (Afrikaans: “warm antelope field”) Valley about 170 km north-east of Cape Town, which is climatically warmer than the surrounding highlands, which is known as the Kouebokkeveld (“cold antelope field”).
