Although Cape Town has it's fair share of statues, they're mostly political in nature and weren't placed in the public domain for reasons of artistic appreciation (I don't think). However, there appears to have been a gradual move towards public art displays - with the most notable one being the scuptures of girls and butterflies along the Sea Point promenade.
The Infecting the City public art festival is set to take place from 21 February until 26 February in Cape Town. (Here's a schedule). While the main hub will be located on the square outside the Cape Town Station the displays and performances will be spread all over the CBD area. If you're not normally in the city, make a plan to visit - there's going to be plenty to see and admire!

Hello :) All your pictures look great! May I ask you what kind of camera are you working with? Are you using a RAW format to get such colors?

Post authorHi Theo, thanks for that. I’m using a Canon 400D, and at the moment mostly use my 18-135mm Canon lens. Yes, absolutely, RAW it is.
Theo, I see that you’re French. We’ve started with French classes – and I have to say, you have a beautiful, yet insanely difficult language! :)

Actually I’m Swiss but I moved to Paris for my studies. Nice camera, the 18-135mm lens is my favorite too.
So if you started with French classes, tous mes commentaires seront en Français à partir de maintenant ;) C’est vrai que c’est une langue difficile, surtout en ce qui concerne l’orthographe, mais je suis sûr que tu t’en sortiras Paul!

Post authorThat’s just mean Theo… :) I picked out a few words from the sentence – but I’ve only been for 2 lessons! :D
Yes, the spelling’s going to be the really tricky part! Perhaps it’s all in practicing reading the language, so go ahead, comment in French – I’ll try to keep up. :)
