GOLDEN CROSSING
Where morning crossed the sea.

The light came up slowly over Arniston that morning. It was not a dramatic sunrise at first, just a gradual loosening of the dark, the horizon warming little by little as the sea held on to the last traces of night.

SUNSET RIDGE

By the time the wild dogs reached the ridge, the hunt was already over.

Why tourism needs better stories, not just better images..

Perhaps authentic travel begins when we stop only looking at places, and start trying to understand them.

DARK BENEDICTION

Golden sunrise over Arniston’s fishing landing in the Western Cape, with the beacon silhouetted against dramatic clouds and textured waves rolling across the early morning sea.

@positivityofx very very sad... will be interesting to see the day a human is finally put behind the glass trying to find a life...and the animal walks past entertained

Blue Encounter at Intaka Island, Cape Town. A malachite kingfisher cut across the still water just as a blue dragonfly rose into its path and escaped at the last moment. One of those brief wild moments that stays with you. #MalachiteKingfisher #BirdPhotography #CapeTownBirds

SHARED FRONTIER | Livelihood and Conservation in Tension

In the late afternoon light of a rural paddock, a goat stands almost sculptural against shadow.

SUMMER LIGHT

A lone swimmer standing waist deep in calm turquoise water near Arniston, South Africa, with a small green fishing boat floating in the distance under a wide pale summer sky.

Elder in Black.

The bush falls away into shadow and only presence remains. Worn ivory like tools, calm eyes, slow certainty. He looked, measured, and moved on. Wilderness isn’t scenery, it’s lineage.

FIRST SPRING

A young impala tests the world on new legs, caught between instinct and joy.

Midday in Thornybush. The mud was already cracking when the herd arrived.

The calf saw us first and stepped inward. The adults closed ranks around it.

A living wall of protection.

In elephant society, safety is position.

Beneath calm turquoise water, a forgotten shipwreck rests.

Once built for labour, it now shelters marine life.

A seal glides effortlessly through its skeletal frame.

Cinema is created by frames.
What’s in. What’s not.
