Description
Another photograph from the 1980s. This was taken from the mountainside above the University of Cape Town, and shows the city covered in an early winter inversion layer - there really is a city of around 4 million people under there!
Pentax SLR, probably Fuji film, forgotten the rest (if I ever knew it...). Signature and some minor retouching done in PSP.
Thanks for looking, and comments are always appreciated.
Craig.

Very cool image...love the atmospherics in this one.I'm gonna guess there is some kind of factory below that cloud layer,and these are the plumes of smoke from the chimney stacks.Nice image!
Good guess Neil - it's the steam from the cooling towers of a power station.
Awesome image.
Wouldn't that be a freaky sight though, if you didn't know what it was at first?? I think this is an awesome image Craig. 5+.
Great capture, Craig.
This demonstrates the power of nature very well. A lovely shot.
smoke from the mist special.. like a UFO went down in a snow world 4ml. people below.. and only one far above that's special
Great capture, Craig. To just hike up into those awesome peaks must be a great feeling.
