Someone once told me that the most beautiful places on earth are sites where the sea and the mountains meet the sky. One prime example of such site is Table Bay Harbour, Capetown where the sea meets Table Mountain and the blue, blue sky.
I’ll let the photographs speak for themselves. (Click on each photo to see a larger version in a new window.)
That speck you see on the clouds up there is a seagull; it’s not some piece of dirt on my lens ;)
I love the quaint little buildings and colourful boats and ships that dot the harbour. I think they give an added element of interest to the photographs.
And in case you haven’t noticed, Table Mountain in all three photos is, more or less, in the same spot, i.e. Victoria & Alfred Waterfront. All I did was walk a few paces between each photo. Those few steps allowed me to capture a postcard-perfect photo each and every time.
If these photos don’t succeed in making you want, crave, desire, long for, and get hell-bent on going to Cape Town, I don’t know what else will. Except perhaps some photos from the top of Table Mountain next time ;)
All photos straight out of the camera, totally untouched save for re-sizing and the addition of my site’s URL.

Looks like straight out of a post card. I love your photos!! =)
I am now saving for that trip you promised me:-) I want to go to Capetown…I want to go to Capetown:-)
WONDERFUL PHOTOS!!!!!You are now a pro!
Beautiful! I can just imagine meeting these postcard perfect shots in person.
I’m glad you all like the pics. It makes me happy when I get to capture the beauty of a place AND manage to share it with people. The world is just awesome, to borrow a line from Discovery Channel. Go see it, y’all!
Lola: After World Cup, ya? God-willing :)
Yohoo!!! Really?
These are so cool Mimi! I love the first photograph with the seagull. I can imagine walking along the harbour hand in hand with my hubby enjoying a sunny day. Photos like these make me want to go out and see the world more. Going around the world with my family is definitely part of the bucket list. Thanks for sharing. :)
hi mimi! great blogs…great photos…i hope u could follow me on my blog…thanks..
Jayme: The place was actually full of people but somehow I managed to get these shots without them pesky tourists hehe ;)
Bev: Thanks for dropping by :)
Love your pictures! When I was there, I had a film camera with me; 8 rolls of film!
My idea of beautiful sites would be where the mountains meet a body of water and green fields..
