Description:
Views taken from the summit of Table Mountain (from the aerial tramway station) focussing on the city of Cape Town, which wraps around Table Bay. It is the second most populous urban area in South Africa, after Johannesburg. Table Mountain encloses the central area of Cape Town, the so-called City Bowl. Cape Town is the economic hub of the Western Cape Province, South Africa's second main economic center and Africa's third main economic hub city. It serves as the regional manufacturing center; shipping and ship building remain important. (Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia. org/wiki/Main_Page)
