What I read today :
Table Mountain Aerial Cableway's renowned Summer Sunset Special starts on Sunday November 1, 2009 and runs until Sunday February 28, 2010. For four months visitors pay half price (R80) after 6pm to travel to the highest sundowner spot in the Mother City. "
and so I lost no time and here is my booty
BTW it is official now , the Cape Town City Council has approved 'Cape Town Stadium' as the official name for the city's 2010 World Cup facility .
More from my Table Mountain shoot tomorrow
Shot this at 6.20 PM from the cable car.
Sunset was 7.15
When I arrived at 15 to 6 (was stuck in traffic) there was a queue :(
I thought you could buy tickets before hand but no they weren't selling tickets until 6PM ! So I was not in the first car up if you want to avoid that then come early so you are first in the queue
Green Point with the Ritz hotel on left and Robben Island
To give you a sense of how high this was
The road you see down there is the Road I drive up when I want to take shots from the top of Signal Hill
the top is onward to the right, but out of this shot
When it is time to catch the last car down, just before 8 PM they sound a loud siren
I was a little afraid I would miss it, since I get so engrossed in my photography :) but there was no chance to not hear that siren
When you get outside the cable car station, it is pitch dark, there are no street lights, not very safe, I was alone and had parked my car down the road a bit before I arrived at the station (it is always packed with cars)
It was a little scary to walk there in pitch darkness and not many people around, thankfully the criminals were having dinner
