Wind giving us a good thrashing!

The southeaster is giving Cape Town a real thrashing today! The clouds racing up the Fish Hoek valley and tumbling over Chapman's Peak resemble flying dragons one minute and flying saucers the next. An instant later all has dissolved, only to reappear as if by magic in a puff of white. Clouds are nature's fascinating way of showing us the strength and diversity of the air currents as they are forced up by mountains, only to dissipate on the leeward side. Only a video would allow you to appreciate the current speed of the wind and a few snaps of the clouds are all that I have to offer. They are of the same mountain on different days.
