Here I am back again after 4 years to the Table Mountain of Cape Town, South Africa. During my visit in the year 2009, it was one of the prospects for the UNESCO Heritage, Seven Natural Wonders of the World. I voted for the Table Mountain and glad that I am back with the Table Mountain recognised as the Seven Natural Wonders.
Table Mountain as it is, a flatted-top mountain forming beautiful prominent landscapes overlooking the city of Cape Town. The 1084 meters tall mountain can be accessed by hiking or by taking the cable car. However, accessed to the top of the mountain depends on the ever unpredictable weather. I managed to reach the top on the first day of my arrival but in the following 3 days, the mountain was closed to the public due to very bad weather which includes rare hail storm.

Try it if you dare~ Abseiling off the top of Table Mountain |
Stone Marking indicating the 'no entry' zone but this is too small to be noticed . |
Due to water scarcity in South Africa, the Table Mountain management took measure by installing waterless men's urinal and sensor taps |
As mentioned before, I did accidentally crossed the 'border mark' and thus I get to capture some highly steep and dangerous cliff. Do not try this if you have a weak heart. |

The decision to visit in the late afternoon paid off as I managed to capture beautiful sunset photos. |
