"Localism" has always been a worldwide "thing" of self claimed "ownership & power" of a beach/ reef sea etc. wave break residence attitude by humans since I entered my passion of surfing 4 decades ago during my half decade + of being around (stories for another day). Today I am trying to show some of the "true" locals of the deep south of the Cape Peninsula, South Africa where I live.
Over time housing, human invasion etc has forced the baboon troops of the Cape to change ways, move etc. but thankfully they still have large natural mountainous & bush type tracts in this area to survive in.
For this weekend experience I am going to to try show one of the reasons why I am passionate about "escaping" for my "as often as possible" (at least once a week) drives around the "sparsely" populated areas of the deep south (ocean, mountains & natural beauty for a future blog/s).....

The above images are of this particular troop leaving the "last" populated man area of the Cape area while heading south towards Cape Point
.
Above are a few photos of these guys closer to Cape Point and in my my view these are true locals that have "claim" to a "spot".
I hope you enjoyed my Sunday ramble as much as I enjoy them.
