Today being the winter
solstice, we celebrated the first tiny step towards summer with a gloriously
bright and sunny day in the Western Cape.
Martin and I packed a
lunch and headed towards the outlook at Steenbras River where we sunned ourselves like
dassies while watching enormous waves break over the rocks.
And then from Kogelberg-side they came, a shoal of dolphins at least a kilometre and a half long, swimming
towards Koei en Kalf near Gordons Bay.
What a privilege to
see a sight as beautiful as this so close to home!
It reminded me of this
lovely image Martin took near Granger Bay on an assignment for Sanlam a few
years ago.
He was out on a boat to
photograph marine mammologist Meredith Thornton when they saw the dolphins
right next to them.
