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. |
