Description
This artwork is of Cape Town's Victoria and Alfred Waterfront at night. To the left is the Old Port Captain's Building, built in 1904 and a fine example of an Arts and Crafts architecture in this part of the world. Beside it are restaurants and shops at the Waterfront. Behind the buildings is Table Mountain in the dark except for the warm aura around it from the light of the fading sunset.
Prince Alfred, second son of Queen Victoria, began construction of the harbour in 1860. The first basin was named after himself, the second after his mother, hence the name. Situated in South Africas oldest working harbour, the 123 hectares (300 acres) space has been developed for mixed use, containing residential and commercial real estate. With over 450 retail outlets selling everything from fashion, home-ware and curios, to jewellery, leather goods and audio-visual equipment. The Waterfront is also still a working harbour and the fishing boats can be seen working bringing in fresh fish or the large container ships being towed in by the tugboats.

Michael, the lights and darks are so dramatic in this night scene of harbor lights. I love that great glow behind the distant mountains and the jewel-like reflections in the waters below. Wonderful work. F/L.
