About this picture

A freedive in my backyard had me looking out into an endless ocean. The closest land mass from this point is Antarctica, and this scene represented the Atlantic ocean perfectly to me. an endless rough ocean, with bits of life making its way over the oceans highway.

sea at golden hour in Cape Town South Africa

Cape Town
