Picking South African mussels at Misty Cliffs
This is a mere echo to Marie's February post, as I am slowly sorting through my own South Africa pictures. Misty Cliffs at low (and fast rising) tide is a very beautiful and desolate shoreline, its yellow rocks literally covered with mussels and colorful anemones. Later we spent a while looking into tidal pools further down the coast. Oh and the mussels were very good, too, even if a few were slightly sand-crunchy... ;-)
Clifton, Third Beach revisited
On January 24, 2008, this beach saw the conclusion to a memorable day and the official beginning of a wonderful story. It will be revisited on a regular basis, just as we always go back to the places that became milestones in our lives. It's a small parcel of sand framed between high walls splattered with rich houses, as many enclaves of wealth that turn into anonymous sanctuaries when daylight wanes and candles are lit. Picnics are a ritual, here, and the beach candles not to be outdone by higher ones. The sun sets beyond large boulders in the west and the Lion's Head up above begins to fade through many shades of mauve. Sparkling wine then flows and tongues get tied as night moves in and the world spins into a darkness that only warms one's heart.


A good, still day I see.
I have been wondering…what will you rename this blog when Vancouver no longer fits the title?
A very good question. The Coriolistic Anachronisms stays. For the rest, let’s see…
“Coriolistic Anachronisms – Not a Vancouver blog” ?
“Coriolistic Anachronisms – Was a Vancouver blog” ?
“Coriolistic Anachronisms – Once a Vancouver blog” ?
;-)
Orange arum and Formosa lily in me mum’s garden, innit? Oops, channeling Halloween again. I think. Is that cat Cockney?
