Light at the End of a Tunnel

Cape Town’s Table Mountain is so massive it generates its own cloud formations. The “Tablecloth” is the name given to the frequent layer of cloud that covers the mountain’s flat top while leaving its lower reaches bathed in sunshine. The Tablecloth was out on Monday and, as pictured here, spilled over into Platteklip Gorge, a popular hiking route up the mountain. A small window in the cloud at the top afforded a glimpse of blue sky on the other side.
