And how serene is this?

South african affair...

Cape town apartment of a fashion designer Marianne Fassler, who stayed true to her roots and used only local design.

The striking bar stools by Haldane Martin flank a counter by Antoine Grobler. And isn't the golden mosaic-tiled splash back cool?

 This wooden counter is also created by Antoine Grobler - the wooden blocks underneath are a great idea! Model is wearing one of the designers newest creations.

Frank on his way...

Training in Iceland, stop over in Cape Town, on his way to Antarctica.

The challenge begins.

Blue Blau Bleu

Blue is said to be the world's favourite colour.

Blue skies are happiness!

Colour of the ocean and sky.

Calming, inspiring confidence, reduces blood pressure, pulse and respiration rates.

The spa's shade of bue was chosen for its slight purple content to create a warm atmosphere that appeals to all the senses.

At once cool and calm.

Blue creates a sense of space.

I hope you haven't got the blues today!
