Beautiful series ckii96. :thumbs_up:

[ckii96]

Thank you very much uncle noordin. :)

[ShaolinTiger]

I think with a few selected pics from this series you could make a fantatic travelogue, with some tips on what to expect, how much the trips cost, what to pack, what clothing you need and what camera kit is recommended (polarizer, ND grad etc).

[ckii96]

Thanks ST, for the suggestion. :) However, I'm not good at words when in comes to general writing. Thus, I think I better let the pics to speak for themselves at the moment. :D I'll definitely come up with a travelogue when I've got the inspiration to write!

Wow, portal to SA! (South Africa, Cape Town)

Thansk for sharing.
Love the sunset street life and other takes of street life; the greened wall of the uni and the sun rays breaking through the clouds.

[ckii96]

Thanks Alan. :) You're very welcome. The streets in Cape Town, especially the V&A Waterfront, are really lively.
