Gary Hirson’s Changing the Lines book, featuring the Cableway, launched in Cape Town

The Cableway’s annual maintenance photos are the stars of lauded photographer Gary Hirson’s new coffee table book Changing the Lines. Gary revealed the book at an exclusive launch at the Book Lounge in Cape Town on Wednesday, 18 October 2017.

Gary has been the keen and unobtrusive observer to the incredible behind-the-scenes changes and technical wonders our Cableway team facilitate when we shut down for our annual maintenance over the past 15 years.

A few years ago, he asked and gained our company’s permission to collate his incredible photos into a book.

Here are a few social media posts from the Changing the Lines launch:

We're so proud to be at @garyhirson 's #Changingthelines book launch at the Book Lounge this evening! Gary has documented his photography of our annual maintenance over the years in his book.
