The story behind the image

We spent the first couple of nights in South Africa in the city center of Cape Town. Of course, we also explored the Table Mountain, one of the many attractions of the city. We took the cable car in the late afternoon and enjoyed the awesome panorama from the nearby viewing platform. The afternoon sun was about to set soon, and we went back to the upper cable car station to enjoy the experience, together with just very few other people.

This photo shows the beautiful mountain range called The Twelve Apostels during sunset time. I adore the soft range of yellow-orange colors and the exdtremely soft merging of horizon and sky.

Awesome.
