    This... this was one of the more beautiful moments in my life. When the moon's full in Cape Town, a lot of people like to hike Lion's Head and watch the sun set over the Atlantic, and the full moon rise opposite. I decided to hike Devil's Peak, which is 4 times as long, and I was the only one up there! A mountaintop all to myself. I was up there for hours and hours, watching the clouds roll over me, and when the sun was setting the clouds around me were glowing orange, as if I were alive in a fire.

The 12 Apostles mountain range. It's right beside Table Mountain. I took this photo 3 days after I arrived, and it is taken from Lion's Head mountain. It was my first hike there, and the beginning of my adventure! by: sweetsolace Views[575]
