From the Western Cape, by Naude Visser

It was early Spring in South Africa’s Western Cape Province and I decided to take the day of and go for a ride on my motorcycle. Near Fisherhaven, outside the town of Hermanus, these vineyards caught the sun, making them look very light green in colour, with the backdrop of the mountains across the Fisherhaven Lagoon giving the photograph depth.
