The Seal & the Lighthouse – Kalk Bay Harbour at Sunset

A real Cape fur seal sits perched on the harbour wall at Kalk Bay, gazing contemplatively towards the red and yellow lighthouse glowing against a dramatic stormy sunset sky. A heavy anchor chain drapes down the weathered harbour wall on the right while seabirds rest on the lighthouse platform and a lone bird soars overhead. The golden light breaking through the storm clouds reflects in the dark harbour water below — and the seal, utterly unbothered, watches it all unfold. A wonderfully natural and atmospheric image that captures the wild, characterful spirit of Kalk Bay harbour perfectly.
