The University of Cape Town, here in South Africa, is one of the most beautiful campuses in the world. And while it’s usually bustling at this time of year (the start of our academic year down in the Southern hemisphere), the pandemic has chased away almost all its usual inhabitants.
Limited on-campus teaching will begin soon, but before that, here are some captures from a recent walk around the campus.
The rugby field
Across the field we go
Standing out
Urban hiking
Way over yonder
CJ’s old haunt (a statue of Cecil John Rhodes once stood here)
The lonely hall
View from the top
Pillars of the town
Down the road
The climb
Nobody’s home
Food(less) court
Signs of the times
Location, location, location
Together, but apart
Out of service
The Library of Ghost Town
Sounds smart, doesn’t it?
Seeking answers
Private ride
Where students once roamed
Don’t stand so close to me
Another day in paradise
Circle time
Rocking benches
Empty alleys
The now-abandoned Arts block
Those who live in glass houses…
And some videos, too:
slip-sliding away..... 
How beautiful, Yacoob! And so sunny and bright, when my world is snowy, cloudy, and below zero! Thank you for this, and gentle peace to you.
