Description
On an idyllic day in late spring, my husband and I were thrilled to be hosted by a Cape Town native that we had met on the long plane ride over. As we were about to deplane, our new friend asked if we'd like for him to show us around the area, and we jumped at the chance. As it turned out, Peter took us on one of the most scenic drives in the world, the Chapman's Peak drive from Cape Town to Hout Bay. Knowing that we were photographers, he made sure that we stopped often at the best viewing areas to obtain some wonderful landscape images of South Africa. This vista, looking across to the little town of Hout Bay, jutting out into the ocean on a peninsula, was taken in the golden hour of late afternoon just as the sun hit the rugged mountainous terrain rising above the city. We learned a lot on that first day of our African adventure, but perhaps the most important lesson was to not be afraid of taking a chance on spending the day with a perfect stranger. It ended up being a major highlight of our trip, and we were so glad we didn't let shyness or fear or anything else stand in the way of accepting this generous invitation.
