Dorp Street Stellenbosch
Dorp Street Stellenbosch

Here's a seven-image sunrise panorama of Dorp Street in Stellenbosch... one of the longest rows of 19th century Cape Dutch-style buildings surviving in any major town in South Africa.

Dorp Street is part of the old wagon road to Cape Town and, just like three centuries ago, visitors still enter the town along the same road. Thus the old street rightly serves as an introduction to the Town of Oaks, for on both sides of the street one sees the beautiful, shady and gnarled old oak trees of which the biggest old giants probably date back to 1760.

The house on the right of this photo is the site of the Pierneef Museum (149 Dorp Street). Jacobus Hendrik Pierneef was a South African landscape artist, generally considered to be one of the best of the old South African masters. His distinctive style is widely recognised and his work was greatly influenced by the South African landscape.

You can see this and 49 other photos in my new book entitled "50 Portraits Cape Town"... now available at Exclusive Books and all the other major local book sellers.
