We that remain

Posted by
dobbino (Cape Town, South Africa) on 3 January 2011 in Landscape & Rural.

We've been down at the flat now for a week. It's been really busy and vibrant down here, with lots of visitors from other parts of South Africa, owners or renters, making use of the flats.

But tonight, most of them have gone back home after the holiday season, and it's noticeably quiet with them gone. The parking areas are empty, and the wind has started up again after having given us and our visitors a couple of days of relief.

These three gulls on the beach provided the perfect shot to express the feeling of emptiness in the complex at the moment.

Title from the lyrics of the very beautiful song "Carry Me (Like a fire in your heart)" by Chris de Burgh
