Never being to South Africa before, but now am intrigued to visit this city of cape town. Hi, am very proud of your gallery revealing the beauty of the dark continent, bringing out of it, it's long sleeping beauty to the world to see. This is very awesome. Keep it up. Austin Onapitan.

My husband is South African (Cape Town) although he now lives in UK. We got married in Cape Town on 07/04/06 and stayed there until 27/04/06. These photos are beautiful and remind me what a lovely time I had on honeymoon and meeting my new family - I can't wait to go back!!! :)

Your photos are beautiful. I was blessed to visit Cape Town, South Africa last year June and your pictures capture the true essence of that city. God willing, I will be visiting Cape Town this year November again. Thanks for the memories.

Hi Craig, My name is Thami and currently in England. You've done a very good work, the photos are wonderfull. You've just shown the world the 1st world part of South Africa. Could you perhaps do the same for Durban?

Thanks for the beautiful photos. I've been infatuated with South Africa (and Cape Town in particular) since I was a kid. I've travelled many places but never to South Africa. I'm hoping to make my dream a reality for my fortieth birthday which is coming up in a couple of years. I'm a bit nervous to travel to Cape Town alone, and also don't know if I can handle the long flight from the US, but I feel it's something I have to do. Seeing your photos makes me realize why I've always wanted to visit Cape Town. I'll stay in de Waterkant so I appreciated seeing the photos of that area, and of Pride.

Thank you for a wonderful photographic essay of Cape Town. My penpal from your beautiful city sent me this url to me in the United States. As the only opportunity I may ever have to see Cape Town, you have revealed to me the utter beauty of the city from every aspect imaginable, and I am greatful for your efforts. A great website already added to my favorites. Thank you again for sharing this gift. I plan on many visits here looking for more great photos. Excellent work

I love Cape Town. I don't live there at the moment but yearn to and your beautiful photos bring the beauty and vibrance of the city back to me. Thankyou

Well done Craig!!! I lived in Cape Town for most of my life and moved to London in 2001. herkerb I disagree with you about DeBock. He must be sad and dull. Max

You have captured some of the best architecture in Capetown. Pity there is nothing as spectacular in Auckland. I like the rest of your gallery - very interesting and imaginative work.

Guest		16-Nov-2005 02:03
Your pictures mean a lot to me. I lived in cape town at a time when digital cameras were not invented yet and I never had a chance to go back again.Keep working and post as many photos as possible.It'll be perfect if the photos were taken in desktop format.

Could this sad Bock-person please refrain from utter such idiotic remarks? These photos are exceptional, and capture the very beauty of our city. They show angles that I have never seen Cape Town from. BEAUTIFUL! Keep up the good work and make us proud. Please make a special thread in Skyscrapercity.com and post your pictures there for the world to see...

I am sorry to tell you that I think your pictures are dull and lack originality. Technically correct in deed but expect more of yourself !

rainer		17-Jul-2005 09:35

Hi your photos are amazing and of such highg quality technically... is it possible if you will ever take such great photos of sporting venues in cape town, some internationals really want to see what infrastructure we have but the internet does not provice very nice or many photos of cape town sports venues at all...

hsark		11-Jul-2004 11:46
keep up the good work china

Fantastic shots! Makes me a very proud Capetonian! I will pass on to all those miserable Capetonians, trying to earn enough for a return ticket! Unfortunately, one does not realise until one leaves, just how incredible Cape Town is.

Interesting gallery of an obviously beautiful town. It's now on my places to visit list.....

Chris		12-May-2004 00:33
It has been a dream of mine to visit Cape Town, and, with luck, and, hopefully, not too much money, I just may visit your beautiful city in September or October 2005, in time to revel in the spectacle that is the Cape Floral Kingdom. Craig, I have been enjoying your galleries over the past several months. You have done Cape Town proud. Table Mountain is, in my humble opinion, the single most spectacular natural landmark on Earth. Would like to see more photos of the wildflowers of the Cape area and perhaps even some photos of Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens. These have been, for the most part, absent from your galleries. Please accept my gratitude for sharing your photos of a city for which you obviously display a tremendous love.

Mandy Holiday		20-Dec-2003 17:55
