Hill station in Lion's Head, South Africa

While the rest of Cape Town was still asleep, a few of us adventure seeking folk maximised the moment catching the sunrise from the top of Lionshead Mountain. In this long exposure shot of the iconic Table Mountain, you can see the smoke from a wild fire at the top of the slope.

After 2 hours climbing the famous Lion’s head in Cape Town I took this shot using a tripod on long exposure mode. The mix of city, sea and mountains makes this town very unique. Definitely worth climbing.

A gorgeous sunset appeared after biking to the lighthouse near my aunt’s house. This is the beauty of Cape Town, South Africa. What struck me most was that my aunt and uncle were almost unfazed by it, as though they’re surrounded by nature like this (which i guess they are).

everyday down the hallway of my little flat, i get to watch a golden sheen peak between the range, leaving the valley under a soft glow, it’s calm after a hectic day, it calms. - you really don’t need much or need to be much to be outside appreciating nature

Last Christmas we spent almost a month in Cape Town. One eventing, around 7PM, we took the cable car up to the top of Table Mountain to enjoy the sunset. The picture is a long exposure showing the Twelve Apostles covered in clouds. I really love how the bright colors of the sky are reflected by the clouds.

Beach in Bloubergstrand, South Africa

  16 km from Lion's Head


After a surf session at Bloubergstrand beach with my brother, I saw one of the Ola carts that we were familiar with as kids. I grabbed my Canon and, being a typical warm, sunny Cape Town day, I set the ISO as low as it could go to make the blacks, shadows and soft red of the Ola branding really pop.

My friend Ben took a stroll beyond the old fishing warehouse and I followed closely behind. Under the bridge he went - I crouched and observed at a distance. The support poles created a rad frame that I used to my advantage in the resulting shot. jonnyhayes.co

Beach in Melkbosstrand, South Africa

  25 km from Lion's Head


As usual, my friends and I were enjoying a wonderful sunset surf on the beauty that is Cape Town’s beaches. We had ventured eagerly to Melkbos on the west coast, a small coastal village lively with passionate fisherman and surfers. Unbeknownst to me, the sunset that evening would be one of the most brilliant, inspiring ones we had ever seen - I had to capture it. This picture never fails to vividly remind me of the feeling I experience while out in the ocean, the feeling I live for. Completely calm, free and alive. No worries, No struggles. Just me and the ocean. What more could I ask for?

A freedive in my backyard had me looking out into an endless ocean. The closest land mass from this point is Antarctica, and this scene represented the Atlantic ocean perfectly to me. an endless rough ocean, with bits of life making its way over the oceans highway.
