This photograph was also taken with the 18-200mm lens. It seems I will be taking all my photos with that lens since I broke the 18-55mm standard lense which is not that brilliant anyway. Zooming in at that distance also enable the background to show.

What you see in this photos is the old harbour in Gordons bay and the hills of Somerset West where they are building and extending the town. A few years ago there were no houses on those hills in Somerset West but today the hills are almost only houses. Even though property in Helderberg is some of the most expensive in the country the property market in the Helderberg and especially Somerset West is still rising and growing.
