The story behind the image
For our 2004 trip to South Africa we spent the first couple of nights in the city center of Cape Town to explore the city and get into an African mood for the rest of the trip. After all, this had been our frist trip to sub-Sahara Africa, and we were excited and also a bit nervous about the experience. (Spoiler: The trip turned out to be perfect.)
Here’s a photo of the Cape Town City Hall, captured from the Castle of Good Hope shortly before noon. I really like the mix of the historic building and the highrises in the back. This mix of old and new architecture is very common in Cape Town.
The building is not used as a city hall any longer but is used for public functions. As always, Wikipedia has all the facts.
