 This shot is taken from Signal Hill in Cape Town looking over Green Point towards Robben Island where Mandela was in prison for 27 years. My old office is in the picture (far right) but sadly it was sold and turned into residential apartments for the rich.

In taking the shot I missed the fact that the camera was set on ISO 500!

Interesting composition. To bad it's so hazy out toward the island.
