Cape of Storms

[Winston Churchill (Sir)]

We had horrific flooding and rather bad storms, spring tide and wind in Cape Town this past weekend. I managed to get a good spot to watch the waves break at the lighthouse - but I needed to "see"over the hedge. Hence the vehicle - My vehicle has a roof top conversion (not a rooftop tent) where I would sit looking out the back - out of the rain, unobstructed view - and shoot for several hours.

Awesome shots! Especially the second one for me. The colors and Power of the wave show greatly. Terrific set! Glad you were snug in tour vehicle. Nice advantage.

wow, Elsa, these are spectacular.
It reminds me of the famous lighthouse keeper standing in the door with huge wave crashing into rear of lighthouse taken by Jean Guichard. All yours needs is a manaquin in front of the door…

Here is an interesting article around that famous shot.
