The story behind the image

Our day trip to the Cape of Good Hope was coming to an end, and we used the curvy and beautiful Chapman’s Peak Drive to get slowly back to Cape Town.

Here we stopped at Oudekraal Beach to admire the Atlantic Coast near Camps Bay (center right) and Clifton (on the left.) We dined in Camps Bay later that afternoon, gazing into the setting sun and watching the paragliders land. This was two decades ago, but I still fondly remember that perfect day.
