This picture was taken on the Steenbras Dam Wall which is situated just above Gordon's Bay. As far as I know it is still accessible to public, but not a lot of people go there anymore. It used to be quite a popular picnic spot, there are some abandoned swimming pools and chalets close by which makes it look quite eerie.
This is the view down the valley from the dam wall, there is a trail that runs all the way from the ocean to the dam wall if you are brave enough to walk that far.
This is one of the few projects that is actually interesting at the moment, they are busy core drilling and is at 550m deep at the moment. As you can see from the pictures they are going through some interesting layers as they go deeper. The end goal is 750m deep, so they still have a while to go.
The next picture was taken at Kylemore outside of Stellenbosch, they are busy paving a road. Sometimes the smallest sites have the best views.
This picture was taken on the Bains Kloof Pass, there is a camp ground with some tame Springbuck walking around. It is quite interesting when you can get so close to them.
A bit of a progress update on the reservoir, they finally got out of the ground and is busy with the steel fixing. Next they are going to start shuttering and cast the walls.
One of the awesome things about the Western Cape is the diversity, this is two hours' drive from the sea. If you use your imagination you can see some cowboys galloping over the plains, complete with the railway track in the picture.
I hope you enjoyed the pictures, this is just a small look at all the interesting places I drive to each week thanks to my job.
