Every time I venture to Namibia for my annual photography tour, I try to spend a few days at the end of the trip in South Africa. When I first went to Cape Town I really didn't know what to expect. The news headlines always describe this city as a crime hotbed and that South Africa is a failing nation, but I have nothing but good things to say about this remarkable country. Load shedding aside, Cape Town is a cosmopolitan city with some of the most breath-taking scenery. It was this majesty that I wanted to capture in the few short days I had before heading home back in 2016.
The gigantic Table Mountain is the backdrop to this vast metropolis, a shape so iconic that it’s unmistakable wherever you happen to be. In fact, it is literally impossible to get lost in Cape Town. On low-pressure days it is often sat in the low level cloud, but to the right of it sits Signal Hill, which arguably offers one of the greatest cityscape vistas in the world.
