En route to Cape Town. Note the rugged mountain ranges crossing the landscape. |
|
Over Cape Town. A surprisingly dispersed metropolitan area with the flat top of Table Mountain looming in the distance. |
|
|
Above the clouds on Table Mountain. A literally chilling experience in the bright sunshine, but cold morning air. Half an hour later the clouds rolled in over the mountain and visibility was down to almost nothing. |
|
The V&A waterfront complex in daylight. A popular venue for outdoor dining and tourists. |
 |
The V&A waterfront complex at night. Colourfully lit, busy and popular with tourists. |
|
The Mall at night after the shops have closed for the day.The tranquil scene, delicate colours and symmetry definitely caught my eye. |
|
|
The V&A waterfront clock tower. An iconic building in the area (somewhat stunted by the perspective correction applied here). |
|
The Malay Quarter. Streets of colourfully painted and nicely decorated houses. A popular stop on the tourist route. |
|
|
The One o'Clock Gun. Be prepared for a shock. It's very loud! |
|
An informal township. Many were seen around Cape Town where opportunities for employment develop. Note that dwellings are built from whatever materials can be found and electricity supply has been connected. |
|
|
A market place in the centre of Cape Town with the RSA flag flying proudly. |
|
Take heed! Baboons are cunning and can easily climb through your open car windows. |
|
|
The Cape of Good Hope - the most south westerly point on the African continent. A must see when visiting Cape Town! |
|
"Where Oceans Meet". The Atlantic and
Indian Oceans are reputed to meet at the Cape of Good Hope. Here's the
evidence: in this photo waves appear to be coming from two different
directions.

A tourist market at Simonstown on the route from Cape Point to Cape Town. Lots of colourful souvenirs for purchase. |
