Durban

I loved this shot of Durban the moment I saw it.  I loved the buildings, it is actually so recognisable with the ocean in the background.  It is a different kind of shot, and I like something different.  

Durban was founded in 1835 already and named after Sir Benjamin D'Urban, the governor of the Cape Colony at that time.  It became a town in 1854 and in 1935 it became a city and today Durban is the second largest city in South Africa.  Durbs has a distinct laid-back holiday feel about it (probably because of the great beaches and surf spots!) and is also know as the curry capital as well - so foodies, if you want to taste proper curries, best you head to Durban and try them out!

This picture of Durban City was taken by Magda Ehlers, a South African photographer.  I hope you will enjoy painting this version of her picture!
