Community Lens for Nov. 24

Bill Abernethy took this photo of what he called a “Lego Man” in Cape Town South Africa. Made from cases of Coca-Cola this tourist attraction was just one of many wonders in the area. Cape Town is fondly known as the Mother City. With jaw-dropping scenery to centuries-old architecture mingling with minimalist modern design, this scenic South African city encompasses old and new. The city is set against the backdrop of the iconic Table Mountain plateau and sapphire blue Table Bay, famous for its seal population and great white sharks.

“Life is like a camera. Just focus on what’s important and capture the good times, develop from the negatives and if things don’t work out, just take another shot.”
