I’ve got a serious backlog of images to share. This one is from October 2024. While in Cape Town to work on a research project I found a morning to climb the India Venster trail (so named because at a certain point there’s a ‘window’ made of rocks) up Table Mountain. It is fairly physically demanding because the route involves a bit of scrambling / mild bouldering but the views are stunning and on a weekday in shoulder season I had the trail almost completely to myself.
This shot is a panorama looking west from the trail, down onto the Camp’s Bay neighbourhood. The trail is the flat rocky bit to the left and right of the image. Spectacular.
If you’d like to read a bit more about the hike, and you have a healthy tolerance for Insta-girl aesthetics, this is as good a place as any to find out more about the hike: https://www.wanderlustmovement.org/india-venster-hike/
Also, this shot is currently my header image on Mastodon (I’ve been lurking there for a year or two) and Bluesky (just joined) because it’s time for us all to ditch Xitter and as many of the Meta products as we can.
