When the sun sets in Cape Town, many residents and visitors flock to the Atlantic Seaboard to see the sun disappearing behind the horizon of the Atlantic Ocean.
A very popular spot to go and see the sun set is from Signal Hill
There are normally a couple of tourist buses with hordes of tourists aiming their cameras westward.
Looking east from Signal Hill you can see Table Mountain with Devil's Peak flanking it. The afternoon I went up to see the sunset there was a puff of cloud on top of Devil's Peak and the near full moon was rising over it.
For more fabulous Skywatch photos from all over the globe, why not pack a picnic and head over to
Skywatch. You can find it
here.

That's a great last photo: a photo of two mountains, one the real thing and the other a reflection, ... and also how they have distinctively different shapes.

ReplyDeleteAaaaah, Signal Hill at sunset. I remember going up there as students with plastic cups and a 5 litre vat of wine. The tourists gave us some rather strange looks but we figured we belonged there more than thet did :)
