A capture of part of the Pretoria Central Business District, taken from the top of the hill at the National Zoological Gardens in Pretoria. Pretoria is one of South Africa's three Capital Cities, being the site of the Executive branch of government. Cape Town is the Legislative capital, being home to parliament, and Bloemfontein is the Judicial Capital. Pretoria falls into the municipal jurisdictional area known as Tshwane. This is now a northern extension of the Gauteng/Greater Johannesburg 'megalopolis' or mega-conurbation.
Strangely, this was a rather difficult capture. It was an uncommonly hazy day, so capturing detail and definition were compromised. Rather than using a circular polarizing filter, I tried various settings and settled for 1/250 sec, the camera's base ISO of 200 and an aperture of f 18 !! I also raised the menu sharpness to +2 and the highlight and shadows settings to +1 each. It was handheld. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pretoria#Union_of_South_Africa and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_of_Tshwane_Metropolitan_Munici...

Viewed from the Captain Cook Cruise boat from Fremantle up the Swan River to Perth. With my school friend who was over from the UK visiting her son and his family in Perth. Wonderful catch up :-) photos in comments.
For nearly 40,000 years the area on which Perth now stands was occupied by groups of the Nyoongar people and their ancestors – a fact that has been verified by the discovery of ancient stone implements near the Swan River which have been carbon dated at 38,000 years old.
In December, 1696, three ships in the fleet commanded by de Vlamingh anchored off Rottnest Island and on 5th January, 1697, a well-armed party landed near the present-day Cottesloe Beach, marching eastward to the Swan River near Freshwater Bay. They tried to contact some of the Nyoongar to enquire about the fate of survivors of the Ridderschap van Hollant, lost in 1694, but were unsuccessful. Following this encounter, they sailed north, but not before de Vlamingh had bestowed the name Swan on the river because of the black swans he saw swimming there.
Just over 100 years later, in 1829, Captain James Stirling founded Perth as part of the Swan River Colony. Stirling thought the natural environment around Perth was “as beautiful as anything of this kind I had ever witnessed” and advocated that a colony be established there. The British Government agreed to found the colony as the first free settlement in Australia, and settlers began to arrive in Western Australia in June 1829.

Stirling officially declared the foundation of Perth, capital of the colony, on 12 August 1829, the date chosen to honour the birthday of the King George IV. The name of Perth was chosen after the birthplace of Sir George Murray, the British Secretary of State for the Colonies.

Saturday challenge - memories
You pass in silence
barely seeing,
alley filled with light,
the day still, windless
cold, the absence
of desire, when he
appears, shopping
cart of treasures,
looking like someone
you knew: a friend
who lost his way, sad-
faced boy at the park,
his eyes gazing far off,
as if he had already left
his mortal body behind.

This is shot from the observation deck near Victoria peak. This is about the only place to get a nice view. The proper peak is actually occupied by the Chinese military so no way to get there. I lost quite a bit of time to figure it out....
The City of London with Heron Tower on the left, Cheesegrater in the centre, and the Walkie-Talkie on the right. Waterloo Station is just in the bottom left of the shot, with the Gherkin just visible behind the Cheesegrater.
175 megapixel panoramic shot.

View from the excellent 'Sushi Samba' restaurant in the City of London.
The buildings are the Gherkin, the 225m tall 'Cheesegrater' (aka 122 Leadenhall Street) which is due for completion mid 2014, and the NatWest Tower.
In Dubai, E 11 is known as "Sheikh Zayed Road" (in Arabic: شارع الشيخ زايد). This road is the main artery of the city. The highway runs parallel to the coastline from the Trade Centre Roundabout to the border with the emirate of Abu Dhabi, 55 kilometres (34 mi) away in the area of Jebel Ali
The road was formerly known as Defence Road. Between 1993 and 1998, 30 kilometres (19 mi) of the road was expanded. Along with this improvement came a change in the name. Sheikh Maktoum bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Ruler of Dubai at the time, named the road after the then president of the United Arab Emirates, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan.
The Sheikh Zayed Road is home to most of Dubai's skyscrapers, including the Emirates Towers. The highway also connects other new developments such as the Palm Jumeirah and Dubai Marina. The road has most of the Red Line of Dubai Metro running alongside it. In Dubai itself much of the highway has seven to eight lanes in each direction.
