Description

This artwork is of Cape Town's Victoria and Alfred Waterfront at night. To the left is the Cape Grace Hotel and behind the buildings is Table Mountain in the dark except for the lights at the base shown on the left side of the piece.

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 Africa�s 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.
