Lion's Head bathed in evening sun.
Lion's Head, (Afrikaans: Leeukop) (669 metres) is a famous conical peak located in Cape Town, between Table Mountain and Signal Hill. The upper part of the peak consists of flat-lying Table Mountain Sandstone and the lower slopes are formed by the Cape Granite and the Malmesbury formation, which are older (Precambrian) rocks.
The suburbs of the city now surround the peak and Signal Hill on almost all sides but strict management by the city authorities has kept development of housing and so on off the higher ground, which is covered in natural fynbos vegetation and supports a variety of small animals). Lion's Head is known for spectacular views over the city and the hour-long walk to the top is particularly popular during full moon.
