Juxtaposition
posted by Kerry-Anne
In the foreground you can see the Bo-Kaap, in the middle the city centre, and in the background the lower slopes of Table Mountain.The quaint and colourful houses of the Bo-Kaap make an interesting contrast with the city office blocks in the centre of the shot. We have quite an eclectic range of buildings in Cape Town, and in the city centre you will see tall modern office blocks located next door to renovated 18th- and 19th-century buildings in a few places.

This is really a neat look at your city. I like the different sections you described and they stand out in the picture. Is Table Mountain a volcano?
Great blog! Well done on the award.
It's good to see a different view of the city and without Table Mountain as beautiful as it is, dominating the photo!
@abraham lincoln: Thanks for stopping by! We'll be back to visit your blog, now that we have a proper internet connection again. And no, Table Mountain is not a volcano - that would make life in Cape Town quite exciting, I should think. :)
@ray h: Thanks, and thanks! Glad you found us.
@scraps of bev: Yup. It's hard to find a panoramic shot in Cape Town that *doesn't* include the mountain. :)
