Although it looks cold, it was a pleasantly warm day - just a lot of moisture coming in from the sea.

This is the other side of the Kogelberg, where the previous picture was taken.

An almost monochrome foggy sea-scape. The sea is calm, and some fishermen standing on rocks are silhouetted against the flat grey sky.

A grey seascape, with rugged rocks. A flock of cormorants are perched on the rocks, with one trying to land, and another calling at it. There are a couple of fur seals further along the rocks.

A juvenile African penguin on the beach at Betty's Bay, one of several protected pengin colonies in South Africa. It's south of CapeTown. This one has just shed its baby down. These are called "blues."

A juvenile African Penguin looks up at me, wondering if I have any fish. This juvenile has just shed its baby feathers and started to develop adult feathers for the first time. At this stage, they are called "blues," hence the #BlueTue tag. This is not the world-famous Simon's Town, but Betty's Bay, a different, smaller penguin colony. We also saw rock hyraxes and cormorants.

Spring low tide at #bettysbay in #southafrica
The sun surrounded by a halo from high altitude ice crystals.

A portrait orientation landscape in sepia. Hazy sky with the sun in the image, surrounded by the 22degree halo, behind stark black mountains, which are reflected in the wet sand of a beach at low tide. Some rocks lie in the middle ground.

Rocks draped in algea -
their soft green bodies
contrasting beautifully with the yellow and orange colours hugging the waters and sky above.

Colours clamouring,
to be seen and taken up into being.

Going for an early morning swim in #BassLake #BettysBay near #CapeTown So blessed to experience this. The photos don't really capture the misty mood. It was stunning and eerie.
