There are relatively few cities that claim that not only are they shadowed over by a mountain, but that the sea touches at their feet. Cape Town is one of them. Part of the reason that I consider her the most beautiful and photogenic of cities.
Here are a few more photos from visit there over Christmas, focussing on the relationship between Table Mountain and the Sea.
My friend, captured in a moment of appreciation.
Taking the cable car down (my knees didn't want to experiment with Plattekloof) I took this photo as the window rotate to look up at the mountain. It was then that I realised the full perspective of size.
On top of Table Mountain, looking south through the clouds. It was such an eery experience to walk through clouds.
This photo gives a sense of how close some of the clouds get to the surface of the mountain (and sometimes swallow you up). You can also see a distant glimmer of sea.
It was impossible to resist the temptation to pose. Also to feel the lift of fresh air under my arms and through my hair. The view was amazing. However a little terrifying to get to this spot as it was a few jumps over a few overhangs and gorges.
