Neighbors in Cape Town, South Africa.
On the plane to South Africa—a night flight—we wondered as we flew over the sleeping continent below. What unexpected things would we find in a place where constellations are unfamiliar, the seasons switched, foods like springbok and biltong grace menus, man-eating sharks cruise bays, penguins waddle along beaches and townships still teem and thrive?
See my photo essay at Numéro Cinq for an answer.

Oh my goodness! I love this photo, Natalia, and the cropped image on the photo essay page—“Neighbors,” indeed, with the potted plant shared between them. And the colors! Of course, I want to live there. 😉
I loved all of the images on the photo essay page—maybe especially the one of the houses on the hill. I had no idea Cape Town looked like this, with these colors. Now I need to go there, too, one day.
Thank you! Beautiful work.
Thanks for reading Riba! The colorful houses are in the “Bo-Kaap” section of Cape Town–it’s quite lovely.
It is clearly an affluent area. Maybe that is part of what I wasn’t expecting. But the color and the amazing light made me want to be there in person.
I’ll take the one on the left, 122, and you can have 120. 😉
Love this!!
Thanks!
I enjoyed your essay and this photograph!
Thanks Yulia!
I enjoyed your photos, but especially love this one on the top.
Wow! Very nice colors!
This is a great post on, not many people take the visual approach.
Personally never managed to get to Bo kaap… and it’s definitely something I would like to check out next time I am there.

Thank you! I’m glad you liked the pictures!
