Exploring Silvermine...

Candace and I enjoyed a lovely hike at Silvermine last month. Silvermine is part of Table Mountain National Park and has some breathtaking views over Noordhoek and Hout Bay. There is also a dam which is great for swimming after a relaxing hike. It was another beautiful day in Cape Town.

 Walking along the dam wall.

 Pretty flowers # 6. I wish I knew their names.

 These black lizards are very common.

 This one may be common - but definitely less seen due to amazing camouflage!

 View towards Fish Hoek and Simon's Town.

 Long Beach stretches from Noordhoek at the bottom to Kommetjie at the far side.

 Hout Bay.

 Heading back down towards Silvermine Dam.

Silvermine Dam - perfectly safe for swimming.
