This is from the famed Boulder Beach colony outside Cape Town. It's heavily visited by locals and tourists, so the hardest park of shooting here is beating everyone else to the boardwalk and beach.
Fortunately, the guard let me in 30 mins ahead of opening (pays to get there early, right?), and I was able to stake out a private patch of sand near some resting birds before everyone else arrived
(and inevitably scared them off). The sun had just cleared a rocky outcropping behind me when I captured this frame.
I head back to South Africa on Sunday, so I'm hoping to get a few more posts up before I leave!
