The legend of Van Hunks
posted by Kerry-Anne
This is the view of Table Mountain and Devil's Peak seen from the back of the Table Bay Hotel. Devil's Peak (on the left) supposedly got its name from the legend of Van Hunks and his pipe-smoking competition with the devil. You can read the full story here - it's a lovely old legend that attempts to account for some of our Cape Town weather phenomena.

An interesting photo and tale.
Looks like Istanbul
Simply beautiful with the very blue sky!
the b/ground seems surreal but gorgeous!
A gem of a photo, so clear and colourful.

its fun to read stories like this - and the writer and story tellershave such great imagination, it makes for a wonderful past time entertainment - it really merges well with your image and the story behind the story of this place =D
