My lovely friend and fellow member
has a Wednesday Walk challenge, which I love to take part in. He encourages other Steemians to go out and take a short five minute walk, and to capture what they see.
I've started doing a brisk walk in the evenings (really hoping to turn these into runs, but we take it as it comes), and I thought to look out for some cool and interesting items to photograph.
You may or may not know, I live in the area of Cape Town that is nestled just under Table Mountain. It is extremely beautiful and green here, and it makes for an amazing (steep) walk. I have my route that I usually stick to, but tonight I wanted to push myself and go a few roads up. It gets really steep up there, and I started feeling like I was actually climbing up the mountain.
I turned into a road I had never walked before, just below the foot of the mountain. It was one of the quietest, lush and clearly wealthy roads I had ever been in.
I spotted this beautifully overgrown wall, looking like something out of the Secret Garden. But wait, that gate! I recognised it instantly. I had sold it to a client a few years back 😊
It is a antique (or rather Art Nouveau) gate from Argentina. Doesn't it look just perfect there?!?
I turned the corner and lo and behold! I found another house in the same road with a gate, and balustrading from my shop as well! Crazy!
I just loved the moroccan tiles they had paired with the gate, and I also loved how they left it to rust. It looks amazing!
The balustrading looks great against the aged concrete wall. I really loved this house.
I'd like to encourage you to take part in 's challenge, it's really fun!
