C is for Cape Town, South Africa, where I was born and raised. As a child we sometimes went on Sunday afternoon drives around the Cape Peninsula past Camps Bay and over Chapmans Peak Drive. It also stands for Coral Bay, one of our favourite holiday destinations, Canberra, the capital city of Australia and Cape Foulwind, an extremely windy place in New Zealand.

Camping is our favourite way to enjoy holidays. C is also for Corella, a white parrot, Chameleon, Camel and camel bells.

In response to The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge: “Boundaries.” This week the challenge is about being creative about limits, boundaries, borders and dividers of all types.

The walls of the Lighthouse Keeper’s house at Point King, Albany, Western Australia that kept the inhabitants safe from the ocean.
