Amongst the rocky terrain, there is terrific native flora on the top of Table Mountain:

Very nice, where are the cliches?

Some of my favourite photos are from around Table Mountain this time not too many years ago - and that was before I was even into photography :)

Thanks for your comments Bindii.

Yes, I understand what you are saying, but the alternative was to have the foreground on a wild tilt.

At least the horizon is out of focus. :D

Table Mountain is slap-bang in the middle of Cape Town in South Africa. Cape Town has grown around it.

Table Mountain was so named because it is as flat as a table-top on top. Access is by cable car, although my ever-adventurous wife walked the 1000 feet to the summit one day. It took her 2 hours. I thought that it was rude to ignore a million-dollar cable car construction for the selfish pleasure of a walk! :lol:

This is the cable car:
