Windy and wet the whole day, a surprise at the end of the post!
The best way that I could show you the wind is with the "Speckled Pigeon" above. Note how he closes his eyes against the gusts of wind. The problem here is that it is not a constant wind, but rather fierce intermittent gusts. Some so strong that they blow people's hats and scarves all over the place.
However the good thing about the wind is that it brings much needed rain.
Let's have a look!
To give you an idea about the travelling clouds!
Weird! A weak sun and raindrops in the fishpond!
Rain cloud gone and sunlight again!
Not for long as another cloud building up!
A flock of "Red winged Starlings" passing by!
A couple of geese heading home!
Colored cloud ribbons just before sunset!
Finally, the show of the day is over. Finito!
The coastline of the Western Cape is littered with shipwrecks and many years ago it became known as the "Cape of Storms". I suppose many ship captains were fooled by a glassy sea that was suddenly whipped into a gale force of wind and waves that rammed their ships onto the rocks.
They don't call it the "Cape of Storms" for nothing!

Even to this day with modern technology and weather forecasts, every now and again we read of a ship, or a boat that's hit the rocks on the Cape coastline. Strange weather here indeed!
