I was down at the Point for sunrise this morning and, though the light was lousy, played with colours. More, with a panorama here and an HDR there — they're about 800 KB each, a few hours under the cliffs showed a point-and-click can do pretty much anything normally attributed to a digital SLR.

Not that that makes me feel any better ...
Although only 45 minutes' walk from the top, the caves are usually inaccessible. Do not try to visit them unaccompanied by a local or guide. In all likelihood, you'll find yourself caught between Dias Point, Cape Point and a rising tide, sheer cliffs at your back, and nowhere to hide. The sea is alarmingly powerful and often deadly.

Wow, I love this blog. Just got back from seeing a fraction of this two weeks ago - I live in the opposite hemisphere so I may never get back again, but I am going to follow your blog as you unveil more and more of this special place. It blew me away in person -your photos show so much more! Thanks.

And as many thanks to you, Carol. I hope you do return - to the Point as well as to the blog.
