            Leopard's Leap Winery, Franschhoek, South Africa

Really digging deep into the archives and have gone all the way back to when I first upgraded my Canon 20D for a 5D MkIII. We went to Cape Town for my 50th and this is the first real outing with it. We did all the usual sights and tours but this was taken on a wine tasting tour and needless to say, less photos were taken as more and more wine was consumed. I've had to google this to find where it was taken but it must be round about the third bottle or winery, but who's counting! An excellent day out and highly recommended although I can't remember the day after.

Anyway... a few notes on the image.
Taken at the Leopard's Leap Winery in Franschhoek. The title of the sculpture is the same as my title and was sculptured by Marco Cianfanelli. Made from stainless steel with a footprint of 9.2 x 9.98 x 0.75 meters and was erected on site on the 1st July 2011. The Leopard itself is fabricated in 6mm Domex material, and was left unpainted. A characteristic of this material is, that it will rust to a point, at which it stops rusting. According to local newspaper reports, the Leopard sculpture has become a landmark in Franschhoek.
