10 January 1806: Dutch settlers in Cape Town surrendered to the British following the Battle of #Blaauwberg. #History

Poem: Looking out from Blaauwberg, paired with a photo taken from the car park at Blaauwbergstrand, 30th June, 2019 Windy day, waves whipped up, Cape Town & Lion’s head shrouded in Table Mountain's mist. A grey-ish, blustery day. This image ©ilinkcs (2025/10)

on my mind today: Reflective Regret, Lingering

Looking out from Blaauwberg,
putting it to rest, once and for all.
I guess.
