EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph titled "Old Ruin at Hout Bay" takes us back to 19th century South Africa, capturing the essence of a bygone era. The image showcases a picturesque view of Hout Bay, with its majestic mountains serving as a backdrop. As one's gaze follows the direction of the winding road, lined with beautiful trees, it leads to an old ruin that stands proudly amidst the wild landscape. In this scene, men can be seen passing by on horseback, their presence adding a touch of life to the stillness of nature. The ruins themselves hold historical significance as they were once part of a customs house where royal officials would stay during their visits. The photographer has skillfully captured the grandeur and beauty of this celebrated location in South Africa. From the magnificent scenery to the charming village boasting vineyards and fishing industry, every aspect is meticulously framed within this print. As one ascends further up towards Hout Bay Hotel nestled among little cottages and pleasant surroundings, it becomes evident why this area is noted for its natural beauty. The constantia vineyards and Camps Bay add to its allure while winds from Cape Peninsula continue to enchant visitors. This photograph not only captures breathtaking landscapes but also provides insight into botany and natural history through scientific methods employed in photography. It serves as a reminder of how art can beautifully merge with science in capturing timeless moments like these.
