Surf &
Turf
This is an interseting spot on the
Cape Town "Foreshore" which is rather unknown to locals who dont
live or do business in the area. Commonly known as Jetty
Square and Pier Place these areas are part of the reclaimed land on
which the Foreshore sits and is in very close proximity to the
start of the original pier. In order to spruce the area
up they decided to put some modern artforms in the
area.
At the cache site itself is the
"surf" related part of this artwork located in Jetty Square.
Think: big fish on a stick. You'll see when you get there,
very interseting. These pieces are the brainchild of artist
Ralph Borland. (Apparently the infra-red sensors in their
noses pick up the movements of passing pedestrians below them and
swivel in the direction of that movement - very
cool!)
The larger square adjacent to this
spot is Pier Place and forms the basis for the "Turf"
reference. Within this square are some awesome life size
statues of people doing everyday things. They are very cool
and make for some really good photo
opportunities.
Please feel free to post your pics on
here.
The cache itself is a micro and the
area can get quite full of Muggles so stealth is essential.
You can sit on the corner right next to it
though.
