Blood Red Sunrise – Roman Rock Lighthouse, False Bay

The sky erupts in an extraordinary blaze of crimson, magenta and gold behind Roman Rock Lighthouse as the sun rises over the Hottentots Holland Mountains on the distant horizon. Cormorants stand silhouetted on the gantry bridge like dark sentinels while waves swirl and surge around the base of the weathered tower below. A once-in-a-lifetime confluence of light, colour, wildlife and maritime history — the most spectacular sunrise the lighthouse has ever witnessed, captured in all its breathtaking, unforgettable glory.
