Delville Wood Memorial and Table Mountain in the late afternoon

 My quick two day visit to Cape Town for the e-Tourism Africa Summit just wet my appetite for a bit of a Cape holiday again.  Not that I know when I'll get the opportunity but I do know that I need some explore time in the city again.  The three things I would really like to … Continue reading Delville Wood Memorial and Table Mountain in the late afternoon

Tafelberg van oorkant Tafelbaai

Tafelberg is die Moederstad en sekerlik Suid-Afrika se bekendste landmerk. Die berg is 'n UNESCO Wêrelderfenisgebied asook een van die Sewe Natuurwonders van die wêreld.  Dit is ook my berg.  Of altans so voel dit.  Ek het nog nooit in Kaapstad gewoon nie, maar wanneer ek die berg sien dan is dit asof ek huistoe verlang.  Ek … Continue reading Tafelberg van oorkant Tafelbaai

Twaalf Appostels

Die Tafelbergreeks strek van Tafelberg tot by Kaappunt en het heelwat bekende pieke en landmerke wat deel van die bergreeks uitmaak.  Bo en behalwe Tafelberg self is daar ook Leeukop, Duiwelspiek en Seinheuwel met die Twaalf Appostels wat die mees prominente pieke aan die Atlantiese kant van die Skiereiland is.  Die Twaalf Appostels maak vir die perfekte agtergrond teen … Continue reading Twaalf Appostels

Table Mountain from the V&A Waterfront

The last couple of posts featured visiting Table Mountain and going up by cable car as well as the fabulous panoramic views  and view sites on top of the mountain.  But all the pictures was taken from the mountain itself, so for today's post I wanted to show the view of the actual mountain as seen from the … Continue reading Table Mountain from the V&A Waterfront

Enjoying the view on Table Mountain

The view from the top of Table Mountain is magnificent, awesome, stunning, breathtaking, beautiful, blêrrie mooi, unbeatable, c'est magnifique... and so I can go on.  How do you enhance that view even more?  You get a couple of people to sit right on the edge - or just use an angle to make it look … Continue reading Enjoying the view on Table Mountain

Table Mountain cable car

Perhaps it's only me, but this angle of the cable car approaching the Upper Cable Station on Table Mountain is probably one of the most iconic and recognisable Table Mountain photo opportunities not showing the actual mountain.  I especially like this angle when the low clouds push in from the sea and you only see the … Continue reading Table Mountain cable car
