A georgous spring day in Cape Town ...

Here is a pic I took on 22 September from the top of the building where I work in Cape Towm. It was an absolutely perfect spring day. This picture of Devil's Peak, left and Table Mountain is a panaorma comprising three separate images. Click on the picture below to enlarge it.



The Company Garden (green trees) can be seen at lower centre. This is where Jan van Riebeeck of the Dutch East India Company planted the first vegetable garden in 1652 shortly after he arrived in the Cape under the instruction to set up a victualing station for ships of the company plying the spice route to the Indies. The green roofed building is theCape Town High Court. My office looks out opposite the clock tower, bottom right. From my office window I get a view of the left half of the moutain just to the left of the concrete monstrosity behind the High Court!

The same day we had a 72% solar eclipse at about 15h000. See next post.
