Morning has broken in Cape Town – a photo essay

It's the start of a new day in Cape Town, and all over the Peninsula people are starting to stir.

The Mother City is beautiful at any time of the day, but particularly so at sunrise, when it is bathed in glorious hues of pink, orange and gold.

Thanks to the photographers who have contributed to this photo essay, you don't have to rise with the birds to see it!
