CapeTown (Afrikaans: Kaapstad [ˈkɑːpstat]; Xhosa: iKapa; Dutch: Kaapstad; South Sotho: Motse Kapa) is the oldest city in South Africa, colloquially named the Mother City. It is the legislative capital of South Africa and primate city of the Western Cape province.[7] It forms part of the City of Cape Town metropolitan municipality.
The Parliament of South Africa sits in Cape Town.[8] The other two capitals are located in Pretoria (the executive capital where the Presidency is based) and Bloemfontein (the judicial capital where the Supreme Court of Appeal is located).[9] The city is known for its harbour, for its natural setting in the Cape Floristic Region, and for landmarks such as Table Mountain and Cape Point. Cape Town is home to 64% of the Western Cape's population. It is one of the most multicultural cities in the world, reflecting its role as a major destination for immigrants and expatriates to South Africa. The city was named the World Design Capital for 2014 by the International Council of Societies of Industrial Design. In 2014, Cape Town was named the best place in the world to visit by both The New York Times and The Daily Telegraph.
Located on the shore of Table Bay, Cape Town, as the oldest urban area in South Africa, was developed by the Dutch East India Company (VOC) as a supply station for Dutch ships sailing to East Africa, India, and the Far East. Jan van Riebeeck's arrival on 6 April 1652 established Dutch Cape Colony, the first permanent European settlement in South Africa. Cape Town outgrew its original purpose as the first European outpost at the Castle of Good Hope, becoming the economic and cultural hub of the Cape Colony. Until the Witwatersrand Gold Rush and the development of Johannesburg, Cape Town was the largest city in South Africa.
Although Cape Town in itself is a city of approximately 500 000 people, it is part of a greater urban area, also referred to as The City of Cape Town and functions as a Municipality, with the municipal boundaries stretching from the city centre area and its suburbs, from the South Peninsula to beyond Mamre in the north and as far east as Gordon's Bay
A Cidade do Cabo (em inglês: Cape Town; em africâner: Kaapstad; em xhosa: iKapa) faz parte do Município metropolitano da Cidade do Cabo, na província do Cabo Ocidental, na África do Sul. É a capital legislativa do país, onde o Parlamento Nacional e muitos escritórios do governoestão localizados. Também é a capital da província. É a segunda cidade mais populosa do país, ficando atrás apenas de Joanesburgo. A Cidade do Cabo é famosa pelo seu porto natural, incluindo marcos bem conhecidos, como a montanha da Mesa e a baía da Mesa, sendo um dos mais populares destinos turísticos nacionais.[1]. É o segundo mais populoso núcleo urbano, financeiro e cultural do país, depois de Joanesburgo.
Localizada na costa da Baía da Mesa, a Cidade do Cabo foi utilizada pela Companhia Holandesa das Índias Orientais como uma estação de abastecimento de navios holandeses que navegavam para a África Oriental, Índia e o Extremo Oriente. Jan van Riebeeck chegou à região em 6 de abril de 1652 e estabeleceu o primeiro assentamento europeu permanente na África do Sul. A Cidade do Cabo desenvolveu-se rapidamente, tornando-se o polo econômico e cultural da Colônia do Cabo. Até a febre do ouro de Witwatersrand, que resultou no desenvolvimento de Joanesburgo, a Cidade do Cabo era a mais populosa cidade sul-africana.
A cidade é um importante polo comercial e industrial, tendo um dos principais portos do país. Sua economia é baseada nos setores de refinação de petróleo, automóveis, alimentar, químico, têxtil e construção naval. Consequentemente, é considerado o segundo maior centro financeiro, econômico e comercial da África do Sul, ficando atrás apenas de Joanesburgo

Here is a pic of Point Reyes Lighthouse. This one has 308 steps that go down onto the ledge where the light is located. The view from this lighthouse is also very scenic.
in Pt Pleasant Beach, there was no beach, and instead a river of sorts with a disgusting foam - the water was too rough to swim in

Divis KP or Divis Key Point as it was known, was a remote military communications station situated on the bleak Divis Mountain to the west of Belfast overlooking the City. Due to the highly sensitive nature of the site little is publicly known about it, however as part of the normalisation process within Northern Ireland it was abandoned in around 2005, this visit was in 2008. I believe it was demolished the following year.
There was a short article I came across in ‘The Sapper’ magazine January 2005 from the two Sections who were tasked with the ‘lock and leave’ of Divis KP. They stripped out 2km of coil fencing, installed new chain link fence with razor wire, removed the reinforced concrete blocks along with other improvised barriers and electrical cables.
When I visited first, it was clear that vandals had cut wire to gain access, and smashed doors and windows, as well as caused other damage inside. Most of the site has been removed, and the compound reduced in size, but a single mast and transmitter house still remain.

Last weekend, my wife and I went to Point Lobos, a state — maybe national — reserve park near Carmel California. Although the day was not perfect for shooting, we went decided to shoot in RAW and using the super simplified zone system.
As you can see on the EXIF meta-data, I set the exposure compensation to -2EV and the metering mode to partial (spot). Then, before composing the image, I measure the light in the darkest area I wanted to retain detail of, then I adjusted the focal length and finally I recomposed and take the pic.
I did get some little overexposed dots but I liked the overall detail. This is my first attempt on Photowalkthrough.com-techniques and landscapes. I hope you guys like it.
