The flat-topped sandstone massif rising above Cape Town is one of the world's most recognisable skylines. Its cable car ascent and the Platteklip Gorge hiking route both reward with panoramic views stretching from the Cape Peninsula to the Hottentots Holland mountains. Photographers prize the blue-hour light on the face of the mountain from Signal Hill and the Boulders Beach road.

The world is wide open.
