A Top-Secret View of the Jozi Skyline
Last night I slept in the most beautiful place in downtown Joburg. I normally try to avoid superlatives but in this case I am not exaggerating – it was literally THE most beautiful place in the city.
I can’t tell you where I was, specifically, because I was reviewing the place for a magazine and I’m not allowed to write about it or put photos of it on my blog until the review is published (not for a couple of months, at least). But I’ve decided it’s okay to show you pictures of the view.
Jozi skyline in the early evening.
Panoramic shot of the skyline at sunset. Can you believe I took this photo with my phone? I’m blown away by the camera in my new iPhone5s.
More sunset. This shot would look nicer without the hideous “15% More Value” LED sign at the top of the ABSA building. But such is life.
Night skyline. Again, would be better without the hideous LED. The purple lights on the left are from a huge rooftop party that was happening a couple of blocks away. Luckily the party ended before I was ready to go to sleep.
More night skyline.
Early this morning.
I’m dying to write more about this place. There’s a lot more to it than the view. But I’ll just have to be patient.
In the meantime, the Jozi regulars among you can probably figure out what the place is. And if you really want to know but can’t work it out, email Bheki at [email protected] and he will fill you in.
This view made me so happy that I had to take a selfie with it.
To be continued.

Thanks Dean!
that rooftop screened-porch/gazebo looks familiar….like it might have been housing for certain artists creating art-inspired space in a certain building. but maybe I’m way off… Can’t wait to see your review, but in the meantime, LOVE the pictures, particularly the morning one….
