This photo is a reminder that no matter how young or old you are, you should be sure to keep your bones active - even if they creak and even if they can't carry you that far. Walk, run, cycle or swim. Get outdoors and enjoy the lovely cool-yet-sunny weather that we often have in winter.
When you're old some day you'll be glad that you kept yourself active.
No rollerblading, no cycling, and certainly no skateboarding! I guess these restrictions aren't for no reason. This promenade along the Sea Point coastline is a spot where hundreds of people stretch their legs each day. Imagine HMYs (high-speed mobile youths) racing along this path. :)
This isn't a sight that many people get to see - most of us are asleep at 05h30 and regularly miss the best time of day!
As the title suggests, this is a view of the city's coastal suburb of Sea Point. The photo was taken pretty much 180 degrees from this one, which was taken from Green Point in the direction of Sea Point.
Although I'm really happy to live where we do - out in a quiet neighbourhood in the northern suburbs - one of the things that makes me a little jealous of people living in the Green Point/Sea Point area is the Sea Point promenade, pictured here.
As Paul mentioned in a previous post about the promenade, the path runs for about 3km along the beach and seafront, stretching from Mouille Point to Sea Point. On pretty much any summer's evening (and most winter's evenings too) you'll find the promenade filled with joggers and walkers. Where we live, if we want to take a walk in the evening after supper, we either have to drive somewhere a little more interesting (bit pointless, really) or make the most of the neighbourhood scenery - which consists mostly of houses, houses, and yet more houses.
If I lived anywhere in the vicinity of Sea Point, I think I'd be out on the promenade most days, either diligently exercising, or else lazily reading a book. Where's your favourite spot for taking walks? Is it close to your house, or do you have to drive to get there?
