 Koeëlbaai (near Gordon's Bay), Western Cape, South Africa.

Taken at the 34mm end of the lens.

Sunrise. Slept on the beach the night before, so I woke up just before the sunrise, ran back to the car to get the camera and took some photos.

Converted from RAW in Lightroom. Noise reduction, cloned out a few small distractions, fixed some haloing on the mountain from a screw up in Lightroom, performed "Marc Adamus" sharpening and save for web.

Very nice red with the Sea and the Mountain intervening. They all go together perfectly.
